In reply to Anxiety - what else is left?, posted by Jenna S. on December 11, 2001, at 18:15:28
Has your bf tried a beta (or is it alpha?) blocker? Think it was called inderal. It was prescribed in my case for "rage" during one of my hospital stays. Quite calming but discontinued after my heart rate went below 50 beats per minute.
Another idea is meditation, yoga or something along those lines. TM worked for me until I gave it up during my christian phase. Now I'm thinking about taking it up again. It really lowers the bp and heart rate too. Helped me with anxiety.
You might consider whether there's something environmental. Sometimes allergies or environmental sensitivities (to everything from perfume to dental fillings) can cause anxiety.
