Dear Junglemonkey,
I read you worst problem with panic disorder in the "poll" and found it to be stomach problems. Have you tried "Carafate"? It is a medication that coats your stomach and intestines and binds itself to bile. It also promotes healing of possible sores and such. Bile reflux is common to panic attacks and I have it. This medication is safe and weights down the bile and helps the flow of the bowel for this and also IBS problems. It is not really absorbed by the body so it can affect your medication dosage slightly so you need to discuss timing on taking it versa medication if you take any with your Doctor. If you have not tried this it may be the answer you are looking for. Ask you Doctor about it, very few ever think about using it althogh it is commonly used with pregnant women because it is considered safe. Just a thought
Sincerely,
Sickman :)
