Question anziety

I am having a stress/anziety problem cause of my husband leaving. My doc tried paxil and zoloft on me and I went way hyper with this stuff-cause I found out they are antidepressants also. Does anyone know of anything natural to help me calm down my nervous system that will help colon too. Someone suggested ativan-i know this is a prescription-but really need some help Please!

Homeoopathic treatment could be very helpful to you and could help you to come off the conventional meds eventually. It is safe to be taken in conjunction with ordinary meds and will not interact, as they work in totally different ways.

Acupuncture is also extremely beneficial for all types of anxiety. It will help you to feel better generally and can help your stomach a great deal.

I would suggest that you go and consult an ND who practices these alternatives or you can find just acupuncturists.

When things are going pretty rough for me I take Valerian root, in capsule or tincture form. It's a mild Central Nervous System suppressant and will help to cut out the background 'noise', distractions and general irritations that plague you when you're under duress.

However, I don't find it to make me sleepy, rather it gives me very sound sleep and I rise refreshed. Because it helps me to cut out the 'noise', I sometimes take it at work if I want to concentrate and keep a single-tracked mind (mine is very active!)

Everyone reacts differently etc. so ...

Wow. You sure know a lot about herbs. Is this self taught and from your own research and experimentation?

As you probably know, I am into homeoopathy and acupuncture, but does Valerian Route give you a good nights sleep and enable you to wake feeling refreshed? If so, what dose do you take?

I am really rather uneducated about herbs, but would like to learn more.
