It's all interesting stuff, after looking up CRF1 and PKC on the net, I can see that drugs are been produced to block PKC and others are being created to antagonise CRF1. Both types of drugs are anxiolytic don't cause sedation or affect alertness or cognitive abilities.
The current drugs for anxiety are crude and it would be progress to see entirely new drugs for treating anxiety.
SSRIs make Panic disorder worse for me. I've never lasted long enough to see if they actually help, feeling worse isn't my idea of a decent treatment.
Benzo's work great for me, they are prescribed very short term and obviously are not the answer as they are no good for long term management of this condition.I've recently started taking a a liquid supplement of Omega 3,6 and 9 and this has had a marked effect improving my mood and lessening my anxiety.
I've tried Theanine, Phenibut (nasty stuff, felt dizzy for ages and doped up, wasn't anxious, but still not pleasant), Bacopa, Passiflora, Taurine, Sceletium, Relora, Rhodiola and Niacinamide. There's only been one study on Inositol for panic disorder as far as I know and they used a large amount 12-18grams. I did read somewhere that you can drastically reduce the amount of Inositol if you add IP6.
Nothing has the effect of diazepam or alprazolam in reducing anxiety sufficiently for me, except the omega oils seem to lower the anxiety and improve my mood and I'm able to cope in panic causing situations better. I will research Omega oils and their effects (if any) on CRF, PKC etc
