Can you possibly suggest some short term medication to deal with severe exam anxiety which will noy affect concentration.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
None: Nearly all drugs which calms down your anxiety have potential to make you drowsy and slow down your concentration although the responses vary from one person to another. There may be one which can work for you but you will have to discuss this with your family doctor.
