> I have recently stopped taking AD's and am now taking 2.5 mg Zyprexa. The change is remarkable! I still have anxiety attacks but they are much less severe and do not last as long. For twelve years GP's and shrinks have been "treating" my anxiety with every AD known to man. It has been hell and I'm wondering why it took me so long to clue in. I am also angry about the lost years that will never be regained. I feel like one of those victims of psychiatry we hear so much about.
I assume you've tried benzodiazepines; did they help? Two OTC drugs that might help are phenibut and diphenhydramine (Benadryl), but both will probably a considerably higher dose than typically recommended.
