Did I mention Valerian before? It's very good for mild anxiety, but I don't know if you might need something stronger(it's herbal). I take it on the rare occasions that I feel irritable and anxious, and it works inside a half hour or so. Also, some people swear by Rescue Remedy. It's a small but potent liquid that you use under the tongue. Tastes a little boozy.

They give it to thoroughbred racehorses to calm them down...they tend to be hyper. My daughter has used it for her horse, a racehorse turned personal pleasure horse, with very good results. I still get my best results from the complete amino complex and GABA - nature's valium, (or so they say). Anyway, I tried this and that, and came up with these things that worked for me. I couldn't stand the prescriptions, and feel fine on the natural products. Besides I'm mad at the obscenely rich pharmaceutical companies and their inflated prices...but that's another story.
