Re: natural treatment for anxiety

Prue-SSRIs won't work for my son either-they were a definite negative. He

started taking Relora, an herbal supplement that lowers cortisol(for his

colitis) and found that he feels very relaxed when taking it. Might be

worth a try??

Hi Prue, its not a natural treatment, but my son has been taking

Tenex (1 mg split) for about a month and it is helping the anxiety,

which had become overwhelming for him at school. Tenex is an

antihypertensive and is used off-label to treat anxiety,

hyperactivity and aggression in kids with ASD and ADHD, according to

my son's neurologist. So far the only negative is that he has

slightly less stamina, but that is an expected side effect that will

probably go away in time. It has red dye #40 in it too, but I give it

at meals with the NoFenol and it hasn't caused any migraines for him.

My son also had a very bad experience with SSRIs. He has had a bad

reaction to almost every supplement/medication I have tried for him.

I was very reluctant to try another med, but the anxiety was really

affecting him and he wanted to give it a try. The effects are seen

almost immediately so there isn't a waiting period of weeks and weeks

before you know if there is a reaction. Good luck, --Lynne

Valerian is also good for insomnia and for drug weans, its action is very

similar to benzodiazepines except it isn't addictive...beware of you do have

strong medication it may potentiate.

it is also a tranquilizer and lets be honest here when my son is having a

brakdown over anxiety this is alot better then the clonopine or the ritalin that

the doctors suggest. in small doses it is much better then the medicatons they

get these kids all strung outon.

and the site also has camomile to for anxiety
