Anxiety is most often due to the flight or fight response system. If you suffer from anxiety, it will effect your in many ways, cause depression, social interaction.
My prblem is that i could never feel "in the middle" between feeling either overstimulated/panicy or too sedated. When i feel in the middle, i feel much more outgoing, calm, peacefull or social. Once im at this point, that one cup of coffee could put me over the edge.
I feel that a sedative/stimulating med along with a benzo is most effective. For example, take remeron with welbutrin or desipramine. Both latter are dopamine/norepinephine reuptake. Both a stimulating/sedative med would counteract eachother, hopefully making one "feel in the middle" at this point, the user could take a benzo if he or she feels too stimulated. Then in retro spect, if one feels too sedated, he or she could drink down a cup of coffee.This is my opinon.
My theory is that anxiety could be due to either loss of gaba reception, excess dopamine or norepinephrine.
caffiene, stimulants, release dopamine and nor, from the presnyaptic nerve cells. Meds such as welbutrin, desipramine, block the reuptake of the neurotransmittion, resulting in more NEruo's in the syanpse.Further more, antiphycotics could be used if one has extreem excess dopamine production.
