Thanks for answering, Linda. I had an anxiety attack a few weeks ago that was exactly like what you described. I was shaking so bad that I couldn't talk coherently. That scared me pretty bad, so I went out the next day (stayed home from work!) and bought some Kava kava. It's a great natural anti-anxiety. So I was wondering about the general anxiety levels in clusterheads. Every psychological disorder can be linked to (not necessarily caused by) a specific neurotransmitter (like serotonin, which Prozac helps regulate). The one that's been linked to anxiety disorders is Gama aminobutyric acid (GABA) and so I'm curious if GABA can be linked to clusters, too. Wouldn't that be wonderful, if we could find a definite cause!! But judging from the response I got, I'm not too hopeful about that one. Oh well. We'll keep looking.
Peace
and Happy Holidays to all!
