i dont take any medicine but i do take rescue remedy and a herbal remedy called quiet life. I also drink chamomile tea which is a natural relaxer.

Everyone is different so probably the best thing to do is to talk to your doctor about different medicines and see if any work for you. x

p.s chest pain and tightness is probably caused by muscle tension, i get this a lot and i deep breathe,and take hot baths to help get rid of muscle tension x

I don't take medications now but did use a small dose of xanax as needed when I first started having problems with anxiety. It works quickly and really calms you down. Ideally it should only be used short term as it is very addictive.
