Hi Outsider,

From what you describe it sounds like you had an anxiety attack. Those can be awful and I hope you're feeling better.

As far as suggestions for medications go you might want to try Paxil. It's supposed to be very good for both depression and anxiety. Note: If you're sensitive to meds I strongly suggest starting out with a small dose.

It's unfortunate that you can't get benzos in the UK. Why is that? They're very effective for treating anxiety. I know that with benzos there is a higher risk of abuse than with other medications. (A lot of people here in the states use benzos for recreational use - something I don't agree with.)

For ADD, Ritalin is said to be very helpful as is Wellbutrin. You might consider trying one or the other.

Best of luck in finding the right medication. It can be a frustrating search, but well worth it when finally find the right combo of meds.

K.
