Since this was recommended on PN last year based on a newsletter from Neurosurgeon (retired) Dr. Blaylock MD, as helping with nerve damage...it might be helpful.
It works like benzos (on GABA receptors) only it is not habitforming or numbing of cognitive functions.
I really like it, and my son takes it too. It is not expensive and I'd suggest if you do consider it, to get the Doctor's Best brand.
I think effectiveness varies between various companies.
I only use 300mg at night, and I find it very helpful, as I've had anxiety issues all my life. (from a painful childhood)
