Just a suggestion.

Oh, and if your patient is having panic attacks their thyroid might be whacked out and they might not really need that Effexor that never helped them but they can’t stop taking because their brain zaps the living crap out of them.

You know, I mean, just a thought. Uh, errr.

Heh. :)
