Started early January at the suggestion of my Doctor. have been experiencing awful anxiety after the death of my dear Dad last April. I really went into a tailspin after that and was suffering with depression also. After some counseling and self help Doc said it would help to try to level my Blood sugar with Dr atkins diet. I have to say its been really wonderful. I haven't had an attack in over 2 weeks and have been considering coming off of Paxil. Would like to know if anyone else's experiences are the same. It was getting to the point where I didn't want to leave the house and I knew I could not do that. I read about this also and hope it helps . One thing that is great is that I have lost about 9lbs too. I need to lose weight really badly too so this is really great.
