Gary, I'm no expert, but seem to remember that having the adrenal glands removed will not quell anxiety, unless there is something wrong with your endrocrinology. (Otherwise, a lot of people would be lining up for the operation!) Generalized anxiety and panic are thought to be psychiatric problems caused by negative thinking and misdirected emotions. Having said that,I suggest you go to your GP so he/she can check you out or refer you to an endocrinologist. I, too, am "allergic" to almost all anti-depressants. However, I seem to be having some success with a high dose (45 mg) Remeron. It is an a-typical AD that seems to have quite a unique mechanism of action. Maybe others on the board can offer you more suggestions. Someone like Larry Hoover would definitely be able to answer your question about adrenal glands. Why not send out a call to him? He might be watching the board, or you could try sending him a babble-mail.
