Yeah, about the vitamin thing; we found that vitamin B over a long period of time was helpful with anxiety. Re your experience and chaostiny's, we had something happen to us when we were 17, except we never really found any drug that worked well for us. The one neuroleptic we ever took made us really, really paranoid and bitchy. We did eventually come out of it though it took a long time, so this isn't to give anyone a "hopeless prognosis" or anything. We're actually doing well now.

Ativan and similar things actually helped more than anything else, if we could catch ourselves before the panic went too far. The main thing we had to learn to do was to tell the difference between what was a realistic belief and what wasn't, which was really difficult at times, but we ended up getting help from friends. (John Nash actually talked about doing something similar, his real story was different from what they showed in the movie.)
