Without knowing anything about this case, and I assume

this is an acute situation/emergency... I recommend

starting with a course of Chai Hu Jia Long Gu Mu Li

Tang combined with Gan Mai Da Zao Tang or Tian Wang Bu

Xin Dan, or all three taken dispersed throughout the

day for maximum saturation, at the recommended dosage

or double the dosage, 3 or 4 times a day (tablets or

pills for ease of use).

This will allay the anxiety, reduce the panic, and

allow the person to begin to sleep more soundly and

relax. At this stage, it is crucial to control Liver

and nourish the Heart (Shen) and treat the underlying

causes when the patient's Shen has settled back in its

residence. My experience, personal and with patients,

is that it will work within a few days and can be cut

back slowly and a constitutional treatment begun as

the patient relaxes and the panic subsides! And, I

would add Pc-6!
