Well I know that resurrecting a thread is typically frowned upon but I have some rather encouraging news that might be helpful to others.

Having realized that a vast majority of my issues were caused by anxiety I began passive treatment (drugs taken daily as opposed to per instance) with the drug known as Elavil (Amitriptyline) and after about 2 months finding the point of which I get the best results (75mg) I am basically functioning as normal. I feel no real side effects emotionally or intellectually which is positive and with Elavil being nonaddictive I can take it for maintenance and slowly decrease the dose in the next few months to see how the chips land. Its been a miracle for me. Safely flew all over the country on business, play golf weekly and in general life has been fantastic.

So there you have it. Watching what and when I eat combined with a bit of affordable medication (at least in Canada) I can now function as a "normal" member of society.
