In reply to LH - regarding your Mg post, or anybody else, posted by becksFLA on January 30, 2008, at 9:48:38
> Is Mg right? Whatever. I've heard this mentioned many times before, Magnesium, Tyrosine, Taurine, many herbal, etc. supplements for anxiety/depression, but I've always been EXTREMELY skeptical about this. 1. My anxiety is so severe, and as I posted earlier, I've tried a few benzos at extremely abnormal dosing levels that did not do a thing. I can hardly believe something like that would help?

The alternatives mentioned work by totally different mechanisms than do the benzos. *If* your issue is a genetically weak benzo receptor site, then it doesn't make sense to persist with benzos. The alternatives may not be anyone's first choice, but once the first choice is shown to be unsatisfactory....
