Dear G:

My suggestions:

1. Consider taking that medication again to ease your sever reflux and bowel spasms and add a second medication to ease the anxiety, maybe an SSRI, maybe something else. A psychiatrist should be involved in prescribing a medication for your anxiety.

2. Google Mark Williams Mindfulness guided meditation series and listen to the first in the series. You may be able to benefit from it before or after starting on the anxiety medication. Try the first and let me know how it was for you, will you?
