I have anxiety and want to treat it. What is the fastest acting anxiety medication?

Most of the anti anxiety meds take almost 45 minutes to an hour.Medication Klonopin comes as a wafer that you take sublingual and that gets absorbed to your blood stream faster and so lesser time for that.
Hope this is helpful.
Faster acting medications such as benzodiazepines work well in the short term, but for long-term treatment of anxiety and/or panic, SSRIs/SNRI medications and psychotherapy are more effective.
