Medication isn't indicated as a first line treatment for anxiety. An evidence-based talking therapy is. That would be something like 12 to 14 weeks of cognitive behaviour therapy; one hour per week; face to face with a therapist; not in group sessions.
If that doesn't work or if the anxiety is particularly severe (anxiety disorders can be debilitating and cause years lost to disability) medication might be indicated.
