JohnL many thanks for your ideas and support. I really think the serotonin approach has been given a fair chance. Trouble is, most doctors think it's the only way. One doctor, after 3 kinds of SSRI and moclobemide hadn't worked said, "well I don't know, you seem to have tried everything". Well, when I see the psychiatrist I'll present him with a list of 30 drugs I haven't tried, and not an SSRI among them.
Most people think of anxiety as the jitters, but mine is a deep nameless dread. A slow giant thing. I feel I need lifting out of it, rather than sedating, so your argument about Adrafinil makes sense to me.
see ya
Fred
