Natural Herbs for Anxiety

[JAug]

Anyone have experience with natural herbs for anxiety? Last time I brought up natural herbs to my Dr he said they don't work and then offered me a prescription for Lexapro. Not for me.

Well, I did try a B12 vitamin but it made my anxiety worse. I would suggest going to a vitamin store and asking them about it. I am going to go back soon and try something else.

My doctor laughed when I brought up herbs too and told me to take Zoloft daily and klonopin twice a day. I got hooked on Klonopins, then didn't listen to his advise, took lots of herbs, and did many other things laughed at by doctors, and now I am Panic Free forever! Doctors do not know how to cure anxiety in my opinion.

I suggest Rescue Remedy spray for acute panic attacks, Eastern Essentials Calm and RElaxed Formula for true deep healing, http://www.easternessentials.com/stay-calm-and-relaxed-formula/, Magnesium Taurate or Magnesium Glycinate, No B Vitamins and No Calcium, Chamomile tea with some raw honey like its going out of style, yoga 2-4 times a week for starters.

I have not tried yoga but I'm wary I won't be able to do the poses :( Is there a form of yoga that's tailored for the "inflexible"? Aside from Rescue Remedy, what other natural remedies do you suggest? My MD prescribed Paxil 10mg daily & I am due to see a therapist on Monday. Will it be alright to start the natural remedies on top of my Paxil?

Thanks for the pointers, folks. I was taking valerian root for a month or so, and was feeling pretty good! However, I read that you shouldn't take it for more than 3 weeks straight, which, sort of threw me off a bit. I stopped taking it.

Try Valerian Root, Skull Cap, Kava Kava, Melatonin, Chammomile teas and Hops Extract. I found Picamilon on Amazon and it helps calm me. Alankay.

Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried Valerian Root, quite frankly...it worked. However everywhere I look online it says to not use for more than 3 weeks at once.

Think about good times good people
Watch movies that makes you feel good
Avoid violent video games and movies
do meditation
Do relaxation exercise
practice to be in present moment all the time
Mostly we regret past and worry future instead take past as destiny and future as free will

I am lactose intolerant. Do these contain lactose?

[knp]

Most of them are lactose free.
Please check lable before you by it.

Better take lactaid tablet that neutralize lactose sugar that cause symptoms of lactose intolerance. You can find at every health food store.

Yoga is do at your own pace. It isn't a competition. just take a basic yoga class and do as best as you can. The real work is how you feel internally, not what you look like. The people in the class tend to be very positive and it is a real good healing environment. And the hot babes! WOW!
