My intuitive reaction is that your mood response is due to fatigue. Not fatigue in the plain exertional sense, or lack of sleep sense. Panic attacks involve significant sympathetic nervous system activation, and if that event is prolonged, as you describe, then that activation would place a lot of stress on your mind. And that stress is biochemical stress, in the end.

I think that N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) might be worth keeping around. It's a precursor to glutathione, and biochemical oxidative stress is quite strongly associated with glutathione depletion.

NAC is good for you, in any case. Excellent for your liver and brain. I've never noted the slightest psychotropic effect, or side effect of any kind from taking it, but over time, my brain began to work much better than it had been. My stressor was pain, but also sympathetically mediated. I don't know that it matters what the stressor is, so much.

Just my gut speaking to yours.
