I would like info on Fish oil and Inositol. I have GAD and Panic attacks and would like to find an alternative to Effexor XR. I only took it for a week then discontinued due to concern of withdrawl effects. It really did help alot heped me put things back in control. Would like a more natural approach. If anyone has any advice or sugestions I would apprieciate it
Thank you

Gaba and B6 have also been used to treat panic/anxiety. Inositol should probably be taken at around 12 grams a day, divided into 4 grams each time you take it. Zoloft is also supposed to be good for anxiety and panic. Don't let the withdrawal symptoms of these AD's scare you off too much to where you will live with your condition forever. If the natural route doesn't work out, it might be worth it to give them a shot. The first time I was on Effexor it worked for me (second time not so good). I tried to quite cold turkey the first time and got dizzy, but that was it. 2 months later I quit cold turkey again and had zero withdrawal symptoms. (doctor didn't even tell me about tapering, guess I got lucky) Good luck!
