Finding an alternative to Valium

[Guest guest]

Inositol is one thing I have been using with some success along with B vitamins

also help. GABA at a dosage from 750 to 1000 mg. is also part of my own personal

regimen.

 

I have social anxiety disorder and my panic attacks were so severe that I had to

go to Wal-Mart in the middle of the night to do my grocery shopping. Then, one

day, my mother bought a bread making machine at a garage sale and put me to work

making bread.

 

I did not like any artificial ingredients, so I found one that was nothing but

natural ingredients. I ate that for about two weeks. Then, a situation came up

where I ended up in a crowded place and I waited for the panic attack that never

came.

 

In looking over my food logbooks, the only change I had made was the whole wheat

bread. So, I researched that and then realized that the whole wheat bread had B

vitamins in it. I still make and eat my own whole wheat bread. However, I also

supplement with B vitamins as well.

 

Hope this helps,
