A number of antidepressants, like zoloft, paxil, cymbalta, and effexor XR are approved for treatment of certain common anxiety disorders like generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety disorder, among others. These meds are not sedatives and do not have the addictive qualities of meds used in the past for anxiety disorders (i.e., benzodiazepines).
There are also a number of herbal remedies available, ranging from mild herbal teas like chamomile and lemon balm, to more potent medicines like passionflower. Passionflower shows some evidence of acting similarly to the benzodiazepines, but does not seem to have the same trouble with addiction / dependency, and is generally safer, although it is still a medicinal herb and not safe for long-term beverage use.
