Any Homeopathic success????!

I read on here a lot about anti-depressants and other medications to manage anxiety but I haven't stumbled across anyone who talks about having success with homeopathic methods. I don't mean just cutting out caffeine and sugar, I mean herbal remedies. Has anyone gone this route and had any success. I am currently seeking this option out. Would appreciate any input.

P,

Unfortunately, if it were that easy...I think that everyone would just be on suppliment 'X'...and be done with this anxiety mess.;/

For some, myself included, I had some relief in using suppliments (I have never used an Rx for my anxiety) but it was just a part of the big picture.

Therapy, self-help and participating here are what really worked to help me I believe.

Also, there is something to be said about the different levels of people's A/D. There are some individuals who are just going to go so much further and benefit witht the help of medication...and to that, I say absolutely...do what you need to in order to be well!;)

However, if you feel that you would like to try the homeopathic route, these are the things that I found helpful:

L-Theanine
Gaba
Fish oil
Melatonin (for sleep)

Always consult your doctor for advise before starting anything...even natural products, and check for interactions.

Best wishes, and keep posting and let us know how it goes for you.:)

I also have good results with my chiropractor. He has a massage therapist on staff so they work together as part of my treatment. I also take supplements.

Look for a chiropractor who takes their time and works on you in a private room. If you can get recommendations from people that would be great. Some chiro's do an open treatment room where there are multiple adjustment tables with multiple people on them. Personally I hate that type of practice.

Hey Poetic8, before I started taking Ativan for anxiety, there was this homeopathic product called Calms Forté that I had so-so results with. Non-habit forming. I live in Eastern USA and so I found these in a Rite Aid. Maybe it is snake oil, though it seemed to help a bit.

Good luck if you find some. Of course, tell your doctor what you're taking!
