Answer 1

TREATMENT

Supplements:
A variety of over the counter supplements and medications are also used for their alleged anti-anxiety properties; however there is little scientific evidence to back up these claims.

Kava - a popular herbal treatment; small doses either taken regularly through the day or when early symptoms are noticed by the patient.
Valerian root - also reputed to have anti-anxiety and sedative properties.
passion fruit
passion flower - has a mild tranquilizing effect without being sedating, a useful adjunct to programs of stress reduction.
St. John's wort - The flowers and leaves of the St John's Wort plant (Hypericum perforatum) are used to make the herbal remedies. These flowers and leaves contain many different compounds including hypericin, which is thought to be one of the compounds that makes St John's Wort helpful for depression and anxiety. It is not known how St John's Wort works. It is thought that St John's Wort may affect serotonin, noradrenaline and dopamine uptake.
hops - alleged to have a relaxing and sedative effect on the central nervous system, may also ease cravings for alcohol
chamomile
magnesium
B-complex
L-Tyrosine
5-HTP
GABA
Glycine

Self-help:
Self-help and relaxation techniques also play an important role in relieving anxiety symptoms. Self-help includes:

Proper diet – This includes reduction in consumption of caffeine, sugar, and generally an improvement of eating habits. Caffeine reduction should be gradual. Some anxiety sufferers report considerable reductions in their anxiety just from taking these measures.
Exercise – Some exercise is thought to relieve stress, by reducing the amount of cortisol built up from anxiety. Anxiety sufferers should note that rapid heart palpitations during exercise can trigger a panic attack, so it is probably better to gradually develop an exercise routine while on a cognitive-behavioral program.
Laughing
Breathing techniques and proper breathing But be sure that these may not allways work – A diaphragmatic breathing technique is often recommended (as opposed to chest breathing).
Proper sleep
Meditation
Relaxation techniques – A state of relaxation can be achieved with the help of relaxation tapes, yoga or relaxation therapy.
Stress management – This may entail changes in lifestyle and time management. There are a number of books specialized in stress management.
Panic attack coping strategies – Specific strategies for dealing with panic episodes have been proposed, such as slow abdominal breathing and use of reassuring self-talk.
Search for meaning and purpose – Some experts have indicated that residual generalized anxiety can be the result of a sort of "boredom" about existence. They recommend looking for an occupation the sufferer finds meaningful.
For people who feel anxious and do not know why, it is worthwhile to sort out whether the anxiety is over a particular circumstance or a more abstract existential worry.

Alcohol:
Alcoholic drinks are probably the most widely used substance for the alleviation of anxiety. Anxiety sufferers are cautioned that alcohol is also a powerful depressant and has a plethora of dangerous and uncomfortable side effects in addition to being potentially addictive. Some evidence suggests that consuming alcohol to alleviate anxiety may be counter-productive, as it can lead to a higher or irregular heartbeat and lowering of blood sugar which can both add to the unpleasant symptoms of anxiety and panic. Further, alcohol can have potentially serious interactions with anxiety medications.


Alternative medicine:
A 2002 CDC survey found that complementary and alternative methods were used to treat anxiety/depression by 4.5 percent of U.S. adults who used CAM.

Studying for you exams is a stressful time, so you need some time to unwind and relax. Can you study with someone else? This often helps. Drink plenty of fluids, special tea if you are in to that type of thing, but lay off the coffee, that will make you worse.

I'd suggest a cup of green tea with lemon and honey.. it smells ohsogood and is VERY calming.

if this is an ongoing trouble you find you have, Id also suggest looking into taking an herbal supplement to enhance your focus, such as Ginseg, Gingko Biloba, or Garlic. :)

I hope this helps!
