Natural Alternatives for Coping With Anxiety/Panic?

[victoria1982]

Hi everyone,

Just curious if anyone has any tips or success stories in regards to using herbal and alternative supplements, either alone or along with prescription meds to help alleviate GAD/PD?

I've seen a lot about Valerian, St. John's Wort, Passionflower, Chamomile, and others like Deplin, L-Theanine, 5-HTP, etc... Has anybody had some bona fide success with these or others?

Always interested to see what is out there..

Thanks
Victoria

My mother in law actually just gave me a supplement that is all natural and it's called Nutri-Calm by Nature's Sunshine. I typically don't use herbal supplements, but I took the bottle to my family doctor to look at and he said that it was perfectly fine to take. You can do a Google search for reviews on the product if you want. It got great reviews and a girlfriend of mine who is really into natural products said that it sounded like it would be a great think to take. I haven't started it yet because part of my anxiety is taking medication, natural or not, but I plan to give it a try soon if I can convince myself that it's going to be helpful. Let me know what you think of it.

Hi there Victoria! I used a great supplement given to me by my naturapath for adrenal exhaustion due to anxiety. It's called Adaptocrine made by Apex Energetics. Wonderful stuff!!!
