Dinah,
Acetylcholine makes most people nervous and irritable when they have too much, even if it does help with memory. I know this personally as a few years ago I got my hands on some Aricept, which works by boosting acetylcholine and is the most popular Alzheimer's drug. I tried it for a week or two, thinking it might help with my ADD, but could not tolerate it. My guess is that if you're already nervous anything stimulating might exacerbate that, hence your reaction to NE. What might help you the most are anti-cholinergic drugs like most anti-histamines, most ot the tricyclic anti-depressants, and others. Specifically:
1. Benadryl
2. ClomimpramineThese are the most sedating/calming and would probably do the most to wipe out your anxiety.
