Im new and need help!

[chuck town]

Hey, im new here and just wanted to introduce my self. Im Charlie and im 15. The reason im here is because within the past 5 months, ive been having bad anxiety attacks. I know everyone has anxiety, but i have had some bad attacks within those past few months. I dont have them every day, but i have them pretty often. Some are worse then others. Any ways, what is a good over the counter medicine that i can get from like walmart pharmacy, or walgreens pharmacy? I dont like pills, so if all possible i would like to stay away from those.

Thanks for any help!

Charlie

Does St. John's Wort or Chamomile work? Im in the sun a fair amount, so i dont want something that makes my skin sensitive to the sun, resulting in sun burns.

You can try Benadryl(Diphenhydramine) or any antihistamine.

I think valerian root extracts are pretty good as herbal remedies go. It acts as a mild natural sedative and is sometimes sold in combination with menthol and/or hawthorn extracts. Herbal teas are a good natural avenue to look into especially considering thet keep you hydrated as well. You say you are in the sun a lot and in that case keeping hydrated is important to make sure your body stays healthy. You are young so feel free to add as much exersise as you are comfortable with to your routine it does wonders in keeping anxiety down.
