Know thyself: If he knows he worsens his anxiety by reading about medications, the solution is of course to stop reading about meds and health issues. That means he must find a thorough doctor he trusts, and must figure out how to report to that trusted doctor only the symptoms that typical patients would report (so not to overwhelm that doctor with slight symptoms others patients typically ignore).
