In some cases a small dose of some form of opiate could be preferable to SSRIs...but some activity and healthy foods and cognitive therapy to get to the root of the anxiety would be my prescription
Thanks for the advice. First of all, I do not drive and I walk everywhere. I walk fast. I am 5'7'' and 116 lbs. I have been eating healthy since childhood - my mother was into cod liver oil, goat's milk and we had our own chickens for eggs and even bees for natural honey. Some mental and mood disorders run in the family - my maternal uncle and aunt both had shock treatments for depression back when that treatment was popular. It cured them. My first panic attack happened in a car shortly after my father's sudden death at home. I went to a psychiatrist and he misdiagnosed me and gave me an anti-psychotic agent rather than something for panic. Fortunately, I didn't suffer from panic for many years and never took any sort of medication for many years either. The terrorist attacks in N.Y. set off my recurring problems for some reason.
PTSD works like that. Did you witness your father's death?
So does bipolar disorder which can be triggered by stress. This person needs someone to do a thorough history and get a proper diagnosis.
