I am most helped by medications that are 5HT2a antagonists. This included clomipramine--and later risperidone, Geodon. I think they work more on the psychic aspestes mostly, but I think these three also helped with physical symptoms a tad.
Now I take Abilify. The latter has helped me immensely, though I could imagine that someone with heavy physical anxiety symptoms would find it not as helpful--it is quite a stimulating drug.
Benzos do not help me--in fact I had an adverse reaction, I plunged into a deep depression and could not stop crying..
