For two years now even with the slightest stress my stomach muscles involuntarily clench tight. My breathing goes off and I'm developing reflux from the constant tensing of these muscles. I cannot enjoy anything or anyone anymore because I can't relax these muscles or stop it from clenching tight. Then I get stitches all over from the tension. I have been on 10mg of Paxil for over 10 years. It helped greatly all those years with anxiety attacks but not with this problem. The dose was upped to 20 mg but I felt very depressed and had much more anxiety so I went back to the 10mg. I think the paxil pooped out years ago but have not had a problem until I experienced constant stress for two years. Loss of a job, daughters wedding, dad got cancer etc...I feel it's a learned habit left over from all the stress but I don't know what to do anymore. Will xanax help for this? Thank you.
 
I take Lorazapam for any anxiety that I have had over the last few years. 22 million prescriptions were written last year for this medication.(per AARP 10/09 issue).It is a controlled substance(could be addictive),but 22 million people can't be too wrong.It
never had any adverse effect on me,either. Good luck Bill
