Whilst doing my usual browsing on the net I came across this document
http://home.epix.net/~tcannon1/Physioweek14.htm
It clearly states that panic disorder seems to be genetic and obviously the cause appears biological.
It also states that Tryptophan depletion has no effect. However I've found a study that indicates Tryptophan depletion does have an effect.http://jop.sagepub.com/cgi/content/abstract/16/1/5
So hence I'm a little confused.
CCK4 is also indicated as a trigger for panic and yet CCK antagonist is not effective yeat I believe drug companies are looking in to CCK4 antagonists for anxiety and panic disorder.
If anyone has any thoughts on what I've presented they will be gratefully recieved.
