an alterate to xanax or benzos is 'low-dose'tofranil, imipramine hcl. many drs. treat axiety with it. not addictive--dry mouth, sweat, not 'cardiac-friendly', but safe if no kids can get at it. and you're not 'self-destructive'. it can make you manic--all ADs may--it takes like 30 minutes to notice, that's a problem for severe panic attack---they don't give you 30 minute's notice. exercise is really neat---your body produces probably hundreds of of 'feel-good' chemicals. for free. my second daughter became a marathon runner when she started feeling 'blue'. stopped it cold. btw--standing up and getting dizzy is very often from dehydration. to the body, nothing, even 'gatorade' is water, but milk, soda, beer, fruit-juice? sure, mostly water, but not to your body. best wishes
