How about Valerian root extract?

that stuff would work alright for anxiety, but not nearly as well as many of the available benzodiazepine class of drugs (ie. xanax, ativan, klonopin, valium, etc).

But as you should know.. benzos are addictive and withdrawal is not pretty. They do work really well for the purpose at hand though.

I personally go for a run these days.. works best for me- I highly reccomend it, to clear your mind and get some of those natural endorphins going.

There is always meditation, yoga, and things of this nature.

Alcohol, on the otherhand... is the worst alternative available.

Good luck, if you need any info on anything I listed, feel free to PM me.. I know how ya feel, been there and I have it under control now... definately a very positive note and lets me go on with my life.

OP, try a doc, they know best.

truth. It works ridiculously well, but you have to really exert yourself. there is a point where aerobic exercise becomes almost like meditation. which is also a good solution, especially when paried with exercise.

I'm gonna have to say exercise, too. I think without regular exercise (I exercise 6 days a week for at least 30 minutes) I would need to be on some sort of medication. Give it a try, you might like it! I alternate running and biking, btw so that I don't get bored of any particular type of exercise.

Ask a doctor for medical advice, not AT. Anxiety can be an extremely serious health issue.
