Hi Maureen,
before dr. Stoll can come up to answer you, I may throw my few cents in. I had the same problem as you have and solved it by diet. So I am sure a specific diet to your metabolic type helps, as well as the SR. Medications just suppress your symptoms for a while, which may be a relief but not a cure. I would recommend reading Brain Allergies by dr. Philpott and Biobalance by dr. Wiley.
I wish you a lot of success.
Be well,
Karel

Hi, Maureen.

Try spending a few hours on the link I have prepared for you below.

My book, although written as a unit, has an entire chapter about this.

Nearly all brain chemical problems (which this kind of problem is) start with LGS and sometimes are complicated by C-RS. See the glossary for any unfamiliar terms. How the patient presents is a function of their genetics and NOT of a different cause. Therefore, the solution is nearly the same no matter whether it is depression, anxiety, panic attacks, agorophobia (or other phobias), learning disabilities, etc. See the resources in the bibliography of my book. In the meantime you could get a start by reading "Nutrition and the Mind" by Dr Gary Null (any healthfood store) and "Brain Allergies" by William Philpott, MD at any library or bookstore.

None of the currently used psychoactive drugs purport to "cure" this problem and, if you read the package insert carefully you will see that NONE of them are recommended to be taken longer than a few months. What do you do then?

What most docs do is just ignore the package warnings and keep prescribing them. This is mainly because they do not know what else to do and don't want to have to keep facing that feeling of helplessness when this problem comes back in the office.

Of course, it is the patient who suffers from this by becoming addicted to the drug. THEN, they have 2 problems: their original one and the addiction. Then is when the doc sends the patient to the psychiatrist and essentially washes her hands of them.
