| Re: Anyone try Clarocet for anxiety?
I don't know anything about clarocet, but I know what helps anxiety. I mean anxiety that is not caused by having something to be anxious about, but just comes for no good reason. I believe that anxiety and panic of this type are nearly always caused by an allergy or more correctly, and intolerance to something that you are exposed to. Our nephew has it and it is caused by something he eats. You may have an allergy to something you eat or something in the air that you breath. One cure, the one my nephew uses, is to take a combination of vitamin C and some form of niacin. If you can take enough niacinamide for relief then you can feel better in a matter of a few hours by taking 500-2000 mg of niacinamide along with 1-3 grams of vitamin C 2 or 3 times a day. Most people can take 500mg of niacinamide without feeling nauseated, but most people would feel nauseated at the 2 gram dose, so you can take hexanicotinate, which is another no flush form of niacin, but it takes 3 days for the niacin level in the blood to peak. It usually does not cause nausea at high doses. If niacinamide makes you nauseated you could try taking hexanicotinate, 2 grams (of the niacin, it is part inositol) which would probably be 8 capsules, depending on the brand, 3 times a day along with the vitamin C for 3 days and that would probably be enough, then gradually lower the dose. It might take less than 3 days, but it won't work as quickly as the niacinamide.
Of course niacin works fine, too, if the flush does not bother you. Don't give it to a child because the flush really bothers them.
This combo works for any type of allergy, no matter what the symptoms, my son uses it for a mold allergy. The trick is to make sure you take enough of some form niacin, which can be anywhere from 100mg to 30 grams, and also take at least 1 gram of vitamin C three times a day unless that amount give you loose stools. If you take 2 grams of niacin a day when you need 3 it won't help at all, you have to take enough. At one point it does not help at all, then you take more and the symptoms just go away.
