verapamil for headache and bp , clonazapam and amitriptyline , . As far

as i know i dont have anxiety.

I went to doc for headaches at first, said it was high bp, then bp

goes down, he says its the bp med, changes his mind again, takes blood

and says blood test came back perfect.

 

I am have nervous shakes, bouncing knee and rotating feet over and

over but i have stopped but thats only because of the med clonazapam

and amitriptyline.

 

I want to go off meds, not be on them

 

i am taking garlic,hawthorne, cayenne and magnesium and multi and c

L-Theanine works wonders with anxiety-- per my experience and my families

experience this summer. The first time I used it and it was great and did not

interfere with mental or physical functioning. It also helped with sleep and

not feeling " drugged " . Fran

Not surprised to hear this... Minerals and amino acids are so important for

natural

serotonin support. Our soil is so depleted of nutrients today, a carrot is no

longer a

carrott. And why are we seeing so much ADD in our children today??? And

depression,

anxiety and rapid heart beat in women, like we have never seen before? All of

these can

simply be a lack of amino acids and minerals.

 

Glad to hear you are doing so well.

(Moderator's Note: Just a suggestion. Go to our links page and click on relevent

sites to do research.

 

I suggest that you learn how to correctly get off any meds that you decide to

get off of and then what natural methods that you decide upon after researching

them.

http://health./links

 

or ask members which sites may be helpful for your research.)

 

 

 

 

did research on it, asked 4 docs, gnc, local old health food store

guy, 35 other message boards and none of them said they ever heard

of it working for this . Why???

you can try each of these separately to see if they work for you:

 

evening primrose oil has been effective for me, although it does make

me drowsy (in a good, natural way) and I'm sure to take it at home 2

hours before bedtime for nighttime anxiety.

 

valerian root tea, which can take several weeks to work, has worked in

different amounts for either sleep or anxiety.

 

camomile tea is good for a general calming effect (just make sure

you're not allergic to ragweeds).

 

st john's wort, if the anxiety is part of depression, is helpful as

well, but eatch for photosensitivity and rash if allergic

 

kava kava in tea form is highly potent, but should only be used for

acute attacks and for no longer than 6 weeks consecutively. Long-term

use can cause kidney problems.

 

bach's rescue remedy can be used for panic attacks, phobias or acute

anxiety.

 

most of all, meditation and mindful awareness of triggers, as well as

having a mantra or sacred safe inner space to get through rough spots,

is crucial to success of overcoming anxiety with any medication.

sorry, as a caveat to my last entry suggesting supplements, please

note that these worked only from my personal experience, and you

should double check with a doctor or naturopath to see what allopathic

meds interact with the list of suggestions. currently i'm not on any

allopathic meds myself, but wouldn't advocate the same for someone

else, especially if they are on meds now and need to consult with a

professional for adjusting anxiety med dosages.

 

thanks

Well my first question is why you have anxiety? You would need to find

the reason first: do you have hyperthyroidism (goiter on neck, and need

your thyroid checked), hypothyroidism can also cause anxiety. How about

your adrenals? Do you have adrenal fatigue (too much cortisol/stress

hormone?) you can get books or do a search on adrenal fatigue, there

are even saliva adrenal tests you can take.

 

If it is adrenals, or you suspect it is: and there are checklists on

the internet to see if you have a problem with adrenals for instance

like jumping when you hear a sound, heart racing when you are startled

(or startled easy), hair loss, gaining wt. in belly area, etc. etc.

 

Anyway for adrenals you need to take long, warm showers and massage

adrenal area daily (or long, warm bubble baths). Light candles often

and turn off the news, do not answer the phone if you absolutely don't

have to. Supplements would be: pantothenic acid, dgl licorice, vitamin

C, b-stress vitamins, I think also recommended you can do research on

is 5htp, and tyrosine...

Please join this group:

 

http://health.Withdrawal_and_Recovery/

 

They can help more than any other group I have found, in these areas:

 

1. How to reduce your meds slowly, and in which order.

 

2. What to take for anxiety - including natural treatments, and

supplements.

 

3. What NOT to take for anxiety - some of the natural treatments

mentioned here already are not suitable for everyone.

 

4. Diet and Supplements - to help in withdrawing from the meds, and

help with the anxiety.

 

This Site, Withdrawal and Recovery is a Lifesaver!!!

 

Best of Luck,

Dear Nik, Anxiety is often traced back to hypothyriodism. Do the Barnes check,

if the figures are below 36.6 use an iodine supplement to help the thyriod

supply the hormones to the pituitary. The adrenaline should flow again after

about two weeks, Mike Maskery
