Supplements for anxiety

[doughertyfamily]

I'm looking for input on dietary supplements that work for immediate anxiety situations. Meds don't work for my teen in the moment. We tried a couple but they made her "buzz." Her dr. has her using Benadryl to relax during stressful situations but it's not terribly effective. She takes one anxiety med and uses melatonin and tryptophan for sleep.

I've added 5-HTP and Vayarin and our family noticed a positive behavior trend within days that keeps getting better. It does help with anxiety but school will be here before we blink and that's when we have BIG trouble. TIA--

doughertyfamily- you said dr.. are you talking about a family doctor? How old is your child and are you seeing a pediatric psychiatrist? I strongly feel you need to see the correct Specialist who know the right medication that is given at the right time of day in the right dose... that is not a family doctor..

We we on the wrong medication for 2 1/2 years.. now we on the right, what a diffefence. I don't think there is a supplement that can help you.

Best of luck

My son went to Homepathic doctor and he was given GAbba. It has calmed him.

Hi there, here are my suggestions.

Magnesium supplements (Life Extension- 2nd in rank on labdoor -3rd party purity screening) or drink (Natural Vitality Natural Calm). It's great to help ease anxiety plus almost everyone is magnesium deficient.

Healing ADD by Daniel Amen has supplements/ meds/dietary suggestions that is very informative and helpful, depending on the type of ADD. hugs!
