diet med for GAD?

Posted by Nancy Schimelpfening on August 27, 1998, at 9:38:25

Dr. Bob,

Since March I've been using St. John's Wort plus Gingko Biloba for my depression. These work well, by the way. About a month and half after starting these, I began using something called the ECA stack to help with weightloss. This is a combination of ephedrine, caffeine, and aspirin. After a while I began to notice that my GAD was much better. I attributed this to the St. John's Wort at first. Then, I stopped taking the ECA stack and my GAD suddenly was back. Could these drugs, which are stimulants, have helped my GAD? Perhaps it's a similar phenomenon to Ritalin, which is a stimulant to normal people, helping calm kids with ADHD?

You are not alone. Amphetamines may certainly calm oneself, depending on relative situattions, etc. Also, one amph may go the nervous route, one may be soothing. As far as the wonder "natural" (as if any med is 'suernatural!?') 'herbal' stuff....I don't know...
