In reply to Racing thoughts, fear of bullying, etc. what meds?, posted by Wolf Dreamer on November 28, 2006, at 15:17:59
I think fenix may be referring to buprenorphine, which is a synthetic opiate normally used to help detox herion addicts. Some people on this board have managed to get prescriptions of bupe from their pdocs for anxiety and depression. Kratom is a herb that has opiate and cocaine-like effects. I've tried it myself and the results are very nice. Not sure about availablilty in the US though.
Beta blockers do not help so much with feelings of anxiety, more with the physical symptoms of sweating and shaking etc. Some beta blockers made me feel more anxious. I think pindolol is particularly recommeded where a person is at risk of developing depression.
I imagine benzos would be very effective for the problems you describe, though SSRIs like Lexapro and Paxil are more widely acceptable first line treatments.
Good luck.
