The guy is thinking about putting barbituates in his body in addition to everything else he is taking. Why disregard something that is PROVEN to help panic and insomnia for hundreds of years?
All I'm saying is that we have run the risk of being conditioned that everything has a pharmaceutical remedy. I personally need SSRI's to treat my depression but try to take natural sleep aids to alleviate the concommitant insomnia whenever I can. Sure a 1mg of Xanax will knock me out, but why not try something first that is natural and won't put more strain on your liver first?
