Hi Natalie, Why not try changing your family doctor. Sounds like he is stereotyping and treating you as if you were an anxious and neurotic female. The aspirin dose at that level is what they prescribe to deter heart attacks. And the Zanax, alone like that, is what they give patients when they do not know what to do with them. It keeps you calm and quiet. Your doctor does not sound like he is working very hard for his money. Don't let the doctors ignore you like this. There are lots of meds that can help with symptoms and the family doctor can prescribe them without need to see a specialist. Doctors are paid employees and owe you better work than that. Natalie B
