I believe we've communicated before when I was posting under LLL.
My DX is panic disorder and agoraphobia. I'm taking St. John's Wort and was feeling that it was helping to some degree. My new pdoc, whom I like, agreed not to mess with the St.John's Wort. I was planning on taking a long road trip over the holidays to visit family and she understood that my past adverse reactions to med's. could interfere with my plans to take the trip. She advised me to add Buspar to the SJW, but since I experienced insomnia the one time I took it I decided I'd wait until after the trip to try that as well.
Well it wasn't any med's that interfered with this trip it was my agoraphobia - I backed out at the last minute and caused my family to scramble to get plane tickets on short notice so they could see relatives as planned. I remain at home -ALONE, and quite upset with myself and discouraged.
Now, I'm waiting for their return so I can try the Buspar (don't like to experiment with things that might exacerbate my anxiety when I'm alone).
If that doesn't work my pdoc wants me to try Paxil - again. However, I'd prefer to try Moc or even Marplan since MAOI's have helped in the past and I'm so dreadfully scared of SSRI effects.Sorry for being so wordy - that's what happens when one is bored to tears.
