Mark had suggested L-Tryptophan on a different thread for anxiety. I was having more panic attacks and wanted to curb increasing my dosage of propanolol.

I have found that it really works! I feel more "mellow" and I have less attacks.

These meds are all meant to be crutches to help us get better.
