Hi I'm curious what stimulant you experienced panic on. I was told at my appointment, where we settled on ritalin, that response to each stimulant is very individual and if you are panicked on one you won't necessarily be panicked on another. That one might have to try all of them. I do know from my past that Wellbutrin was perhaps the worst drug for me, got me the closest to suicide I've ever been due to agitation, and yet it is commonly used for ADD. Just wondering if perhaps your metabolism changed a bit with having a kid and curious what would happen with other stimulants. Your description of how you feel on caffeine alone makes it seem like trying all of them might be worth a try. Have you considered it?
Meditation of course is excellent too :) I saw that in another thread I think and I'm a meditative bird watcher like the other poster.
