So I'm on gabapentin which seems to help a little with my various nerve issues but wondering is there anything else out there (e.g. supplements, herbs, exercises, etc.) that can help with what seems to be an overactive nervous system? I tried LDN didn't do squat. Also tried a bunch of anti-inflammatories (cause it was thought at the time this was inflammation not nerves) so none of that helped. Appreciate any responses.

Hi Rikky1,
Dopatone, l-trytophan, Uncaria rhynchophylla

Scutellaria baicalensis and Salvia miltiorrhiza at bedtime(I take 1/2 tsp each)

Have you been taking Sida acuta, if so it sometimes can make your symptoms worse and you need to go off of it for a bit or cut back.

always check herbals for side affects and contradictions

It's difficult to say what will help without specifics, but lithium orotate can help protect mitochondrial transport and can help stabilize sodium influx which in a round about way, helps calm your nerves.

Rikky - did you try Kudzu and/or Greater Celandine (Buhner suggests it for severe CNS/brain involvement)


I did try it for several months and didn't notice anything...I do believe most of my current issues are CNS driven.

But, I may try it again.

As Georgia mentioned- lithium orotate is always a good choice. A phyco med?- no, not the suppliment form. Just like magnessium, it comes from the ground and is an essential element. It calms without sleepiness.

Mag helps too - but to good, it puts me out.zzzz

I would also try lithium, in energetic form.

Magnesium can help with muscles.

Lavender essential oil.

St john's wort is well known to help calming down.
