There is a great book called the Herbal Drugstore by Linda B White MD and Stephen Foster and the staff of Herbs For Health. Which covers anxiety and many other medical concerns.

A dietry approach would benefit greatly. Cut out caffeine completely as it raises anxiety and tires adrenal glands. Eat foods that produce serotonin, bananas, oats, turkey so on. Then supplement with calms from the herbal shop

St Johns Wort, just watch what you take with it. I believe it is an MAIO inhibitor and you have to watch what you take with that stuff.
