Thanks Linkadge.
I believe over-enthusiastic glutamatergic function may be causing anxiety, racing thoughts, rumination and lability of mood.
The symptoms seem to kick in after sucrose-rich meals and nicotine in particular, and calm down after alcohol or Omega-3-rich meals. This all points to glutamate function.
I'm at the 2-week mark with fluoxetine, which should eventually dampen glutamate release, but in the meantime I'm going to try Omega-3, cyanocobalamin or phosphatidylserine.
