I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has had success from non prescription remedies for anxiety. I am currently taking ativan, but am looking for some long term alternatives and dietary changes that may help. I do not smoke, drink alcohol or consume any caffeine. I also drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. Any help would be appreciated. I have suffered with anxiety/panic attacks off and on for almost 30 years (started when I was 10 mad ) and have had every symptom imaginable. Please respond.

yea i use chamomile tea, even tried a teaspoon of vinegar before both seemed to help, but the chamomile is really good and will help a belly ache too.

I got some efalex, though haven't tried it out yet.

It's a special fish oil that works on your brain. There's normal fish oil and this one that has higher quanties of the oil needed to make the brain function properly.

It's used a lot in the treatment for ADHD.

Fish oil and 3000mg of vitamin C totally eliminated all symptoms of the anxiety that I had (mostly in the mornings).

HI whoa,
Thanks for your reply.

How much fish oil and what times of day do you take it and the vitc?/ How long did it take until you noticed a difference?

Let me know...Take care

Has anyone tried taking a B complex vitamin tablet? it might help as the B vits can help to support the nervous system.
