Does anything at all help? Like even alcohol? That would suggest that taking a drug that helps GABA would help, not that I know about that stuff really. Have you looked into Buspar? I heard it was good for physical anxiety symptoms. Do you get enough sun? I'm just throwing things out because of the drugs I know, I'm not sure which ones are best for a physical anxiety, other than a benzo, which doesn't work for you. All the mood stabilizers work on GABA too (like the benzos) and adding one might help to calm that stuff, but I don't know if you have to be bipolar for one to do that. Anyway, a site I really find helpful is mcmanweb.com You can look through the articles section, and maybe read the neurotransmitters article, and the antidepressant articles...has lots of bipolar stuff too. I hope you find something that works for you.
