In reply to calcium channel blockers and anxiety??, posted by highanxiety on December 18, 2002, at 13:56:30

Well... Neurontin's mechanism involves some calcium-channel blockade and helps anxiety for many people (I had some success with it for that in the past-it seemed to make my environment non-threatening somehow). My pdoc has brought up verapamil (Calan, a CCB), a time or two, to add or substitute for hostility probs., and to possibly counteract hypertension from Wellbutrin or psychostimulants, and counteract diarrhea from SSRI's.
