The best treatment for anxiety is a combination of medication and talk-therapy, specifically something called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This teaches you to retrain your unhealthy thinking habits which cause the anxiety and learn new healthier ways of dealing with your stress. Medication such as Buspar (buspirone) and Paxil (paroxetine) can help lessen your anxiety while you learn your new techniques. Personally, I'd avoid tranquilizers like Xanax or Klonopin, as they are habit-forming and do not actually do anything except cover up your symptoms without helping you - but if you have horrible panic attacks, you might ask your doctor to prescribe just a small amount for emergencies until your therapy helps you to become cured.
