Hello all...
The "try anything" approach a couple of years back, in attempts to treat depression and anxiety, led me to the Dreyfus book and a brief stint with Dilantin. I took 100mg a day for several days and stopped when a horrid rash enveloped my body. I stopped...it went away.
Thursday night, i had a really bad anxiety situation that caused intense throat closing and chest pressure and lasted that hole night, dissipating only somewhat the next day. I remembered the dilantin and thought if i could take just a 50mg dose one time, maybe that would help. Well, i did and it did. Inside of an hour i felt the racing loop of thoughts disappear, the throat and chest relax. Several hours later i checked my chest and, sure enough, i was covered by silver-dollar to quarter-sized red blotches all over. They didn't itch but it wasn't pretty. They are only somewhat subdued this morning. Anybody know of any other anti-siezure meds. with a lower profile for side-effects? I have heard the amino acid Taurine can help ammeliorate excess firing and potentiation of brain cells. Anybody?...thanks, john
