How would I go about getting medication for my anxiety?

This is complicated to ask, and not something I'm really "open" about. I got this feeling forever ago when I was in the like grade school, my hands would shake a lot and I would feel nauseated; I never understood why until a year or so later. My mother had said something about anxiety and nerves, I eventually "home schooled" once I started my sopre year. It helped greatly, but it still happens a lot. My mom had the same problem too, as well as everyone else on that side of the family. (Could this be hereditary?) What medication could I get? I know I won't be getting any Benzodiazepines (it would be outstandingly brilliant if I could) but what would I get if I was to go to the doctor about this? Sorry for rambling on and on.
