I take Zoloft (Sertraline) which is actually a Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) anti-depressant - But it was prescribed for me for anxiety. It doesn't directly reduce anxiety like a benzodiazepine - but by stabilizing my moods it indirectly reduces anxiety. For me - it has worked reasonably well.
