Beta blockers: Beta blockers can help episodic anxiety, affecting physical symptoms such as pounding heart, shaking hands, sweating, etc. Not so good for long-term anxiety, though. Mindfulness-based cognitive behavioral therapy is extremely helpful and provides you practices you can do yourself for the rest of your life. It's habit forming, but the good kind. :-) best wishes.
