Try doing MASSIVE probiotics. I was doing a combo of 2 different time release probiotic pills plus the nasty refrigerated liquid stuff (yes it is GROSS). Do the liquid 3x/day. While doing all this exercise regularly.
Recently, I built a desk over a treadmill so I can walk while working. This seems to help a lot.

I haven't found out exactly why some people develop anxiety after taking antibiotics, but it seems to be more common than doctors admit. Some theorize that it causes an imbalance in the body's natural flora. There have been some studies performed that show a correlation between probiotics and reduction of anxiety, http://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/evolutionary-psychiatry/201206/do-probiotics-help-anxiety.

I hope this helps!

For the first 8-9 months i was having chronic stomach aches/pain and spent thousands trying to make myself better to get rid of the anxiety thats been causing me a host of problems everyday although i did notice that when i started taking probiotics, my stomach pain disappeared in 2 days and it never returned.

Right now im taking 2-3 probiotic pills per week and i actually been feeling better but still not 100%. I always thought of upping the dose, although was just worried i would do more harm than good. Think i will upp my dose now as you suggested, Thanks.

Yes I love the looks I use to get when I was out eating and my knife or fork suddenly decided it was going to twitch out my hand. Just to make me look like a special kid.

F.E.A.R. = Future Events Appear Real

IM and anxiety - both things are closely related to each other .... Since the past 1-2 months, I am also having anxiety attacks...

It's often due to a lack of control, and fear of things that are out of your hands.

Also certain stimuli make the issue worse. A few people have mentioned caffeine, and I remember after a while of taking the banned supplement "Jack 3D", I was getting some seriously weird, what I now realise to be panick attacks due to sweating in public situations where I "could not escape".

Anyways, best cure I found was:

1. Exercising - Releases so much tension, anxiety = tight abdominal muscles, neck muscles etc, so loosening these during sport can really help.
2. Stay off Caffeine for a while - I did this and it really helped.
3. Just 100% Relax, sit down and relax every muscle in your body (including your belly if you hold that in because you "think" you are fat" and say "whatever happens, if I can't control it, then I won't worry about it".
4. Think about your main worries in life and start taking control of them - Whether it's money, family issues, just take steps every day to fix it, and you will feel so much better for it.

If you continue to pursue each one of these points, you will cure your anxiety without pills in a few months, I know I did.

Sincerely.
