I'm seeing a doctor on the 3rd to talk about my citalopram prescription and renewal. I've found that my symptoms have always persisted for the most part all these years. I want to ask the doctor what I've learned from my experiences with caffeine and fish oil supplements. In some instances with coffee or tea or chocolate my anxiety has temporarily gone away. I've been taking fish oil tablets 3 times a day with every meal for 2 weeks and have noticed symptoms of anxiety waning. Checking the internet I learned caffeine and fish oil effect dopamine levels. Some new research has noted that dopamine and not just seritonin can have serious impact on social anxiety. I'm going to ask the doctor about dopamine and if there's anything in the research. I heard there are dopamine re-uptake inhibitors. We'll see, I'm not the doc.
