I just wanted to share with everyone a natural alternative to meds, it's called holy basil or tulsi. It really works for me, I had my husband try it (he also suffers from anxiety) and he felt like it worked for him as well. I buy the tea bags and use it that way but I think it can also be bought in capsule form too. Do an internet search on it and see if it's something worth trying for your situation. I love it, and feel better like 20 min after drinking, but the most effect is after drinking it over a long period of time. It has been compared to Zoloft. I drank it all the time when I first started with my really bad anxiety and intrusive thoughts and it helped wonders. I have started drinking it again to help with my racing mind. Anyways, I highly recommend it :)

The one I have is green tea. It's good if you like green tea. The brand is organic India. It's also loaded with antioxidants, so works good for boosting the immune system as well.

In the meantime, I'll call you Holy Mel.
