I'm a little angry with my psychiatrist. He told me that he thinks my anxiety and panic attacks were due to a bad effect I had with Wellbutrin. Then he puts me on lithium and gives me Klonopin and says that he believes my panic attacks and anxiety are just existential. Then guess what happens? My anxiety and panic attacks almost disappear. Okay, so what happened? It was the lithium. My doctor didn't tell me this would happen, he just made light of something that I nearly killed myself over. I feel manipulated. The lithium limits the amount of norepinephrine, which is your stress neurotransmitter. It triggers your fight or flight sympathetic nervous system, which causes anxiety and panic.


Their not existential. They are a biological reaction from a drug he kept me on. I know it's all an experiment to see what drugs work for what person. We're all different biologically. However, let's be honest here. There is no need to flip-fop, and try to trick me.
