Question by Panda: Could my vegetarian diet be adding to my anxiety?
About a year ago I switched over to a strictly vegetarian diet with minimal milk products and occasional salmon, but no chicken, beef, or pork. Around May of this year I started having sudden symptoms of panic disorder and now medicate with lexapro which has helped significantly. Could my switch to the vegetarian diet have brought on some of my anxiety symptoms? I?m thinking about beginning to consume meat occasionally again to see if it will help. Has anyone had any experience with this? Thank you!

If you eat a lot of fruit with naturally occurring sugar it could fuel it, but not as likely as processed sugars.
