> Fred: I suffer that waywhen I eat too much sugar(in any form). I had a craving for chocolate chip cookies today but after 2 of them I felt awful. I couldn't stop my heart pounding and hand shaking, much more than jitters. Sometimes if I eat more than 2 or 3 cookies (like when I'm really in a funk) I spend the day crying and full of rage, I even hit things without relief. Don't know if its the drugs or what, but I have notices that exercise causes me to get even more depressed too. Sometimes I wonder if its worth it--miserable without drugs, miserable with drugs. Sorry don't mean to bring you down, just having a bad day. Hope this helps, good luck--tina

> > I frequently roll around in a state of grinding anxiety, crying frantically, after eating. I haven't identified a specific food. Over-exertion will also do it, as will a hot shower sometimes. My Doc says it's "your catecholamine system". Could it be thyroid connected? And finally, this anxiety is not "the jitters". It's a deep, dark, gut-wrenching anxiety that can cause vomitting. The old books call it "nameless dread". Anybody else suffer this way, or any advice? I take celexa 30mg and Xanax. If you have been, thanks for reading this.
> > FredI wonder if this might be a histimine response. Once I had a reaction to beef. I did have a bad case of hives too, but the mental symptoms were very similar
to what you describe; anxiety, tension, sort of a freak out. Anti-histimines cause sleepiness. Could excess histimine cause a high arousal anxiety state? Depending on individual differences,
it is possible that mainly mental symptoms and not physical might appear?
