I went to the drug board and just thanked GOD that I did not need to take these drugs.I have never used them.My research on alternative supplements has payed off for me.I also did research on mental illness and how it effects the brain.I now so much but unless you are a trained neuroscientist I do not think you could understand it all.You have to know a lot of things about many diffrent areas of research.It has really helped .Inositol,fish oil and blueberry leaf extract are the best things I know of for agoraphobia.It is just a great thing to feel sane .I read on boards,for agoraphobia, about people having these awfull symptoms of agoraphobia.I want to help them but it is useless.So ,I am just not going to try anymore.No one will read The Bipolar Child.The best book ever written on mental illness.You would learn so much from it.Are you getting any better?Does it get better or worse with time?I am getting better everyday.I am really getting better not just doped up on drugs ,if you know what I mean.I do not know if you can be 100% cured but being free of panic attacks is ok with me.also having 99% of the symptoms of agoraphobia gone without drugs is great.It is just very strange to be so much better.I was just totally nuts ,like a lot of people still are.It was a living hell.I do not want to be there ever again.Nothing can take the place of just feeling normal.When people take drugs it is a false kind of feeling.I did take some xanax one time and the panic stoped but I WAS TOTALLY SPACED OUT. Then when it wore off ,the panic just came back worse than ever.I did not want this.I want nothing that screws with my brain chemistry.Fish oil works on the second messenger system not your brain chemistry.I belive that ssri drugs really screw up your brain cells.The illness comes back within 6 mo.s to a year worse than ever.It does nothing to cure you.It does not even work on the brain defect that is causeing the mental illness.St. Johns Wart is no better . They gave a monkey an ssri drug and it destroyed 60% of his serotonin receptors! I am really getting better ,I am not just doped up on xanax. This is what I want.
