I don't recall reading anything that suggested that calcium channel blockers would help with anxiety. But I am not an expert on this. Is there a particular one that you are thinking of?
I know that beta blockers help a lot with the physical symptoms of anxiety (but not the worrying part of it). I personally take one (Toprol XL which is the same as Lopressor) and it does relax the anxiety I feel in my chest. Another type of blood pressure medicine, Clonodine, is also used for anxiety.
