I am 22 years old and have been hit nard with anxiety the past couple of months. I just tried an antidepressant (effexor), and did not have a good experience. Nausea, insomnia, couldn’t get out of bed for days. I was only on it for less than a week, but after that experience I am exploring other options. Any suggestions?

For some people I have known about say, Marijuana works for them. I do not know for a fact or for myself if it works.For those say it does I believe them. A punching bag I here helps also.

STOP DRINKING ALCOHOL! People who have anxiety tend to drink too much. That was me! I quit drinking,and in about 3-4 weeks my anxiety started to dissapate. Letting go of issues from your past,and accepting that there is nothing you can do to change what has happened..whether your fault or not is very calming. Why worry about something that you cannot change? LET GO. MOVE ON WITH YOUR LIFE. ITS OKAY. In addition to taking a multivitamin , go to the store and get vitamin B-complex, and take it every day. This does wonders for your nervous system ,and will give you more energy and calm you all at the same time. If you like to drink, don’t exceed 3-4 a day.

I found that taking GABA in comination with vitamin B-6 which helps with uptake to the brain
FIRST thing on an empty stomach really helps.
I also take dance class 2x’s a week. It really doesn’t matter what form of excersize, as long as it works for you.

Well there are many things you can take for anxiety: saint john’s wort, l-tryptophan, Gaba, but these just cover up the systems. It is needed at times but meditation is the biggest help, followed by yoga, then excersice. When excersicing try running or some sort of sport, but i find weight lifting or bodybuild may make you a little to jumpy. Maybe just me. LAST and most important is that you understand that you and your mind our not the same. Your mind is like a child incapable of relizing what is real and what is irrational. So you have to right down or even say out loud that your fears are unfounded. You control your body and you must also police your random thoughts so that your mind doesn’t become affraid of things that are not rational. If start having panicy thoughts say to your self what are the odds of the elivator getting stuck and even if it does worring will not help. So i have nothing to worry about.
Remember with anxiety you don’t get well untill you realize that you are well. jim traina

I’ve had terrible anxiety for years, and it got terrible when dealing with a long distance relationship. I’ve found that a long run is the best fix for anxiety as well as making “rationalization” lists as to why most of the worry is unjustified. I took klonopin for a while, and this helped me at night—by day, however, I think it was best for me to get things out rather then put things in (e.g. talking about it, writing, exercising, meditating, etc.)

What if you could be allergic to these natural remedies? I am severely allergic to ragweed, how do I know if I am allergic to any of these? I see that Valerian is most popular. But my concern is an allergic reaction.
