Anxiety is a response to a threat to yourself it can be either physical or to your personal dignity, self value. Anxiety is a resource in one sense heightened awareness, quickens your responses. Trouble is if you don't find a way to deal with the threat eventually your going to exhaust yourself decompensate and give thereby sustaning a loss which will be depressing.
You can search for drug combo's that will work but I'd say the best way is to identify the reason your getting so stressed ( probably not obvious ) look at what your currently doing, realy reasses whether not coping in these paticular situations is the end of the world and if it is then why, experiment with different approaches. A bit psycho-analytical-well at least you won't build up an addiction to it like a benzodiazepine.
