Buspar (generic: buspirone) -- not addictive, not a tranquilizer, and I think they're currently doing some studies on it as a treatment for IBS. You do have to take this for 4 - 6 weeks before you notice a change/improvement in your anxiety. Good for generalized anxiety or OCD, I think.

For short term, fast relief, you could try a benzodiazepene (like Ativan/lorazepam or Xanax), which has tranquilizing affects and also works well for IBS attacks/spasms. Good for panic attacks.
