Anxiety and medication

I've been doing some research and I think I have an idea of ​​how to recover from this. Anxiety is supposedly the fight-or-flight response of our nervous system, and the only way to overcome it is to expose yourself to and accept the symptoms. Okay, I understand that, but right now I feel exhausted, and I was advised to start medication. The problem is that I want to heal from the root cause, not just get rid of the symptoms. Is there any way to take medication just to stabilize myself and continue with exposure therapy? Basically, using medication but experiencing the symptoms as a 5/10 instead of a 10/10.
