Dear lybrate-user As you told you were prescribed etizolam and Betacap for your anxiety. Etizolam provides temporary relief to anxiety. Betacap is for physiological symptoms of anxiety. You need long term anti anxiety medications. Consult psychiatrist for same. Psychotherapy can also help. Regards.
