Natural Remedies For Anxiety Disorder

I have severe anxiety disorder with agoraphobia and i take anti anxiety meds (lorazepam) and drink frequently to stop the attacks or keep them under control. I would like to know what natural things i can take and do...Thanks

I do meditation and it changed my life, I feel so much better now,I can't live with out it.It is so easy just do it for 20-30 min and just concentrate on your breathing and let your thoughts come and go,as your breathing slows down you will feel much better.Do some research on it.It makes you younger,happier and more relaxed.Do it for a week ,even for 10 min is fine.

I suffer from GAD. It takes it's toll on me daily. I constantly worry about things, to the point I'm sick. Is there a natural suppliment I can take to ease the symptoms. I'm also in therapy to help cope with this problem. Thanks!

Yes, i read that vitamins B12 and B6 are supposed to help, also magnesium. One way I got rid of my anxiety was signing up at a health club and taking yoga classes. Also, try to establish a routine in the evening that will help you wind down. Read a good book, do a crossword or soduku puzzle and drink some herbal tea. Also, try to just not be scared of it, the more you think about having it and reading up on it, the more you are thinking about it and will have it. I know its hard to do, but just be strong! Thank God that this is the only health problem you have and not something like cancer, GAD will get better and you will be OK. =)

My 17 year old son has symptoms of anxiety. We know the things that can be done medically, but we're looking first at natural remedies. Does anyone know what aromatherapies work best? Vitamins/minerals/herbs? Music therapy? Other? Thanks!
emigirl6---he's been to both his physician and he is currently in counseling. Thanks for the input!

There are many different counseling methods that incorporate behavior techniques to address stress and anxiety. Medication can be useful in some situations, but tranquilizes should never be a long term “cure” for stress.

Natural cures for stress and anxiety include behavior management techniques, proper diet and exercise, herbal remedies and yoga techniques. These will actually work towards alleviating your stress.

My best friend has anxiety disorder, OCD, depression and agoraphobia, and has a HUGE problem with changes. Im worried about her and she isn't into seeing a chinese medicine doctor and she is has a deep christian faith, but she is interested in natural remedies because she has tried 2 different medications and they don't work. please help!

There is therapy for this that does not require medications. She could see a counselor who specifically does behavior modification that helps one to face their fears and find a constructive way to handle it. My son has ADHD and OCD. The OCD can be really tough but he is his own best advocate. He is on medication but he has done really well with learning ways to deal with it on his own. Good Luck

I've pretty much been on and off meds my whole life since the age of six, among other things I'm diagnosed with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and more recently I'm having anxiety related symptoms of depression. I recently opted to get back on Fluoxetine, but I hate the feeling of being drugged, and I kind of feel like it doesn't really help with my anxiety, more like masks it. Makes me feel half asleep and wide awake at the same time, and makes it difficult to concentrate. Plus I'm concerned with what long term effects it may be having on my health, particularly reproductive. Can anyone recommend any legal, relatively safe alternatives, such as a herbal remedy? I just feel like there's got to be something better out there, instead of the expensive, addictive crap that big pharma pushes.
I've gotten so many great suggestions that I will be researching/trying. Thank you so much for your help!
