I currently have a situation where I get anxious, my heart races, and I wake up at night with a racing heart. My heart rate once went up to 140 at work, and a friend gave me Xanax 0.25mg, which helped greatly. I have a very stressful job and sometimes break out in hives due to stress. I've cut out caffeine from my diet, which helped some, but I still have panic attacks. All the doctors I've been to want to put me on Paxil and Zoloft, which do not help, as I do not suffer from depression, only anxiety. Could I get a low dosage to help my anxiety?

I have tried to get into see my care provider, but with time and the availability of appointments, it has been almost impossible.

I experience pain in my lower abdomen at times, which feels hot and tender when not in pain. My bowels are okay, and I eat sensibly, but I have irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). I am not taking anything for IBS and am on warfarin, so I need to be careful about what I take. Can you suggest anything for my IBS pain, and is there a diet I can try?
