Hi, thanks for responding! The only other med I have available right now is Celexa, which might be preferable because it doesn't increase norep. (which is where I suspect this problem is stemming from). So the next time I have an attack like this, I think I may bite off a small piece of that instead. What do you think? Also, I'm interested in trying Benadryl but I'm afraid it will make me too sleepy to function. Do you find this to be the case? I can't seem to find it in a non-drowsy form. I bought some non-drowsy Claritin and used it today, but it only seemed to INCREASE my agitaiton (is that possible?). Well anyway, I guess I'll just give these things a shot and hope for the best! Thanks for the advice. Take care, J
