Panic attacks ; better outcome using Serotonin and Dopamine.

I was reading from the Neuroscience website under panic attacks and anxiety. It states that although they ignore what the pathway is, that they have gotten better results treating panic attacks using Serotonin and DA precurosors than they've had using GABA's.

It occured to me that Marianco has repeatedly written that testosterone which increases DA prevents the adrenals from going into overdrive. This may explain why the good outcome in treating pani attacks with DA precursors.

I recall that DA is both an inhibitory and excitatory neurotransmitter. Although Marianco has also made clear that it's much easier to raise DA through T than going the pharmacological route to increase DA which in turn increases T.
