what i read in pharmacology book
1-anxiety happens becoz of high percentage of epinephrine and norepinephrine in cns and periphery
propranolol un-selectively block alpha and beta receptors and block this effect
2-gaba theory
gaba is known for it calming effect on cns so anxiety happen becoz of low gaba in brain
what drugs affect
from plants valerian
and chemicals such as benzodiazepines like lorazepam and bromazepam
3-seratonin theory
anxiety happens becoz of low seratonin in brain this could be fought by
-ssri selective seratonin reuptake inhibitors like paroxetine and fluxoetine
-tricyclic antidepressent inhibit seratonin reuptake without causing sedation
for me i use 20 mg propranolol it works well for me and some time use valerian in some preparation in market
what about you ?
gaba did not work for me at all. Made my sleep better though?
Right now I am taking a combination of L Theanine and Benzo. Just today morning, I took 900 mg L Theanine and 0.5 mg Ativan to feel like a half normal human.
I take Chlorpromazine and Paroxetine for my anxiety and they work very well.
I think my brain was low on Serotonin and it was low on benzodiazepine receptors.
I’m prescribed 25 mg metoprolol I assume it does the same as propanolol. I, also take 4 doses of 200mg l theanine a day and just started taking GABA today. I have gabapentins I take when it’s really bad. I’m going to order some magnesium taurate today and see how that works or not. The resperidone 1 mg, also, seems to help prevent aggitation. Oh and limiting or avoiding coffee helps depending on the day.
