Dr. Alon Seifan answered

Specializes in Neurology

Depends on symptoms: There are many physical manifestations of anxiety, and some of them might respond to medication. For example, shortness of breath or dizziness that occurs with panic attacks can be somewhat prevented with a class of medications known as ssri's. Would be helpful to know which symptoms you are trying to target.
