>Thanks for the info. I too am trying (again) to get off the
anti-depressants and am currently at a low dose. The medication I was
concerned about was a tranquilizer taken for panic attacks.<

I've already mentioned that in my introductory post, but I'll repeat as you
may not have read it: one of the best explanations for panic attacks I've
ever come into is that, for some unknown reason ( kundalini awakening??? )
some people start having an irregular breathing pattern. That sends a msg to
the part in the brain ( I think the frontal cortex area ) where emotions are
"processed". As the air flow is lower than normal, it reacts instinctively
as if you were dying ( both rebirth and evolutionary psychology can explain
that ) and, as a consequence, your blood pressure and heart beats go up and
you have the clear sensation you're dying. Scientists are being very
successful at testing that theory, as patients with panic attacks tend to
develop them when deprived from their usual breath of air.

Before I read that in the news, I had already noticed that hyper-ventilation
quenched my panic-attack symptoms. I also notice that they come back when I
have too little air input, like when I had heavy karate classes or
accidentally hold my breath when I'm lifting weights. So, if you're really
concerned about taking that medication, you may try that technique
 breathing in deeply and repeatedly to stop the process ). I hope it works
for you.

Best wishes,

Caio
