> Aha, if you have no depressive symptoms, only anxiety, that's a whole 'nother ball of wax... I guess I'd say that something that addressed those symptoms directly. I had great luck on a very low dose of propranalol, which targets the physical symptoms rather than the emotional symptoms. It might be worth a try, since if it's going to work, it should be apparent right away.
