As was mentioned, propranolol could be a medication to ask about. It is a beta blocker, not a benzo. If it would help, know that many people consider it side effect free. I had no known side effects from it. None.
Always practice anxiety coping skills, on or off anxiety meds.

Good to know about the lack of propranolol side effects for many people! I definitely do prefer to practice my coping skills. Sometimes they don't work though.
