Archive for the ‘Herbs for Anxiety’ Category

i am wanting to get preg. within the next couple years. however i have horrible anxiety, and anemia… i think i have the anemia under control, but i am scared of my anxiety. i am going to start herbs to help calm my nerves so that i can live more peacefully. … i am just scared to be pregnant with such bad anxiety. i am scared that my anxiety with effect the baby. im scared i will feel "weighed" down when i am pregnant…and i am scared it will make me go into bed rest….

how many of you have anxiety and were pregnant? i need advice!

oh sweety…im anemic too so i feel you on that…and i worried about EVERYTHING…it was an unplanned pregnancy…my husband and i didnt have alot of money…and i worried and cried all day everyday…i couldnt sleep i could barely eat…and i told my dr about it…he gave me a prescription for "atarax"…i read online about it before i took it and its a mild tranquilizer lol i know that sounds scary but its safe for pregnant women…they actually give it to women in their iv sometimes during labor to help them relax and be able to push better…so maybe you can ask your dr about that…it seemed to help…kinda made me sleepy tho…

I know Chamomile works good, but what are some other ones? I need to make a tincture for my herbal remedy class, but we haven’t covered that yet.
Okay. Not all of us live in California. Weed is still illegal in Az.
The goal is to make something and then use it. I can’t go and buy it.

rose hops, st. johns warts, Ginger, valerian, root catnip, peppermint, alfalfa, dandelion root,and mullein leaf. that is all i can think of i am no expert but they work for me as well as a supplement htp5 great for sleep. i don"t take lexapro any more and i have not gone to jail. Wellbutrien and lexapro made me suicidal and manic. it was like i was another person, note any of these things takes about 2 weeks to make absorption. but any thing you can take as a liquid will absorb faster.

how effective are these and what are good ones for anxiety and depression??

You first need to figure out what caused your anxiety and depression – two very different diseases. Find a medical doctor that can and will work with you on this. They should also have a reputation for suggesting natural supplements while being able to prescribe a prescription if necessary. That is what I did when I had a hormonal imbalance that caused my depression, along with an extremely stressful time in my life.

My doctor told me to eat plenty of fresh fruits, at least three servings daily, even more if I could. She also told me to get lots of nuts – almonds, walnuts, macadamias, and Brazil nuts. She said the combination of fruit and nuts was "…brain food. Your brain needs food, Lisa." She then told me to get back on the herbal hormonal cream I was using, gave me a prescription for Effexor and some sample of Lunesta to help me sleep. She said to exercise at least 30 minutes daily, even if I just took a walk for 30 minutes. She said if I did this, then I would be off the Effexor within 6 months.

I was off the Effexor within 4 months. (Don’t EVER use Effexor as the withdrawals are worse than the side effects!!!) I now use St. John’s Wort for depression in the wintertime, as we don’t get a lot of sun in Michigan. I also began listening to a music therapy CD that I found at this website: http://www.eaglesnesthemisync.com/Anxiety.html

St. John’s Wort helps with depression. Valerian Root helps for sleeplessness. I’ve used products from Herbs Etc.
http://www.herbsetc.com/Conditions/index.htm to help with sleeplessness and restless sleep for my young daughter with good results, but this company combines the herbs in a very potent formula, not something you would find at Wal-Mart. In fact, anything you can find at Wal-Mart would be a waste of your money. I know. I used to work in the pharmacy department, and the pharmacist would use their products either!!!

Just curious what people take for depression and anxiety if they want to use herbs.

Don’t say "Go to your doctor" because that doesn’t answer my question
