There us no best one: There are several options and the choice depends on what kind of anxiety is being treated and what is the treatment history of each person being treated. What has been used before and what was or wasn, t successful. Some choices: serotonergic antidepressants, hydroxyzine, buspirone, inderal, (propranolol) hypnosis, desensitization training, cognitive behavioral therapy to name some.
