My doctor prescribed Ativan for me for anxiety. I find it works quite well. Xanax is of course another possibility, as are Valium and Klonopin. I'm sure there are others, and probably other ways to get at the problem, i.e. via anti-depressants. If you do get on one of the ones I mentioned take it sparingly. I haven't become dependent, but I do know that can be a danger.

Hang in there.
