Posted: anxiety relief
I’m scared to take drugs for my anxiety problem as my doctor recommends. Has anyone found anxiety relief without drugs such as a herbal remedy or vitamin perhaps? thank you.
Dear Mark: Yes I have. I had the same problem with taking prescription drugs for my own anxiety. I now use a natural supplement blend called Panicyl that works well for me. I also have read a couple of books by Claire Weeks about anxiety that really helped me understand why i suffer from this crap./ I hope this helps.

Massage Therapy! Good massage therapy has amazing lasting effects.
A once a week massage is more powerful than any drug. If you are looking for one on the cheap, try looking up your local massage therapy school. All schools have a student clinic where students work on you for a deeply discounted price (sometimes as low as $16 for an hour massage).
Other good places to find legit therapists are at chiropractor’s offices, or referred from chiropractors.

For me, prayer really works. Of course, you have to have a relationship with God to understand that He really is in control and is a loving and caring God. If I am getting really tense about things, I need to pray and then remind myself to let God deal with it. I use certain mental images to remind myself that I can’t take that worry back.
The image doesn’t affect anything except my perception, of course, it is just a reminder that works for me.
You can also try calcium tablets. They really do have a calming affect. Read the labels of any other drugs you’re taking to see if calcium will interfere with them. Be sure you are getting a good multivitamin with all the Bs in it, too.

I started meditating years ago because I was having terrible trouble with panic attacks and day round anxiety to boot – and I felt impaired. And I have to say that it works pretty well. I have much less daily stress and I haven’t had a panic attack in a while.
BUT I did practice it nearly everyday. I made a discipline of it, and I was dedicated to doing it. I suggest it to a lot of folks, but the majority want instant gratification, and thats not what meditation is about

There are herbal tinctures that are helpful for anxiety; you would have to go to a qualified naturopath to get a prescription for them. [Where I live, you can take a prescription for herbal medicines into any pharmacy and have them filled, but I don't know what pharmacies in the States carry.]
Another suggestion is B vitamins — if you are deficient then this will help you.
Exercise is also a very, very good way to work off nervous energy and you should be getting a good regular physical workout no matter whether you are taking medicines or not.

Try taking what the body actually needs….GABA
Gamma amino-butyric acid – which is an amino acid the brain ACTUALLY produces, yet production radically drops as we age, not to mention the food process methods these days make us more deficient in everything.
Clear clinical studies has linked anxiety/depression disorders straight to a complete lack of proper GABA productions.
You want to spend $1000’s on drugs to make things worse? Of course not…how about $20 a months worth of GABA- take 1000mg a day, you’ll feel just fine.

A really good remedy is to take Tart Cherry. You can find it on line or at your local health food store. Just make sure its "flash pasteruized" so that the goodness isn’t cooked out of it. You can find it in liquid form or capsule form.
You can take one or two every four hours if you want. Works well for anxiety.
