Bach rescues remedy seems to be oil or spray, that helps to calm you. I've not tried anything like this before and am intrigued.

I've tried them but unfortunately they don't work for me. I think I am passed the herbal remedy state

That's what I was thinking, am I passed that stage? If I'm being prescribed meds then surely yes I am. How are you today Holly?
i dont know about herbal remedies but reading up on xanex that seems good, you might want to talk to your gp about it?

Isn't it just! Thanks for your help xx
Hi Looloo,
I've used rescue remedy for a while, I think I use it as a prop. It's in the form of drops and you put 3 drops on your tongue, whenever you need them. It smells of brandy!

Do you find it helps you winter? I don't like brandy lol
in reply to
I think it helped, I'm not sure really if I used it a prop. It seem to calm me down. As long as I carried it around with me I knew I would be ok. I also got quite anxious if I didn't have it.

Oh I understand. I'm not sure if I want to try anything herbal now, I spoke to pharmacist today and they advised not to mix herbal with meds. They said there is no testing of these things used together so they can't say.
Hello looloo. Slightly better these things just take time don't they
in reply to
Yes love they do x
Hello winter whatever works for you use it
Hi LooLoo.
I don't know if it will work for you but my wife and me both heard of earl grey tea and since we started drinking it have found it does have a calming effect.Just a thought hope your able to give it a try.
in reply to
Thanks Kenny I shall definitely try the tea
Just a placebo if you ask me. I did the tincture 'Rescue Remedy' for years, didn't help me but may help you.

Thanks agora. I'm kind of thinking the same x
I have been using green tea, havent noticed any difference but i'm doing smoothies and eating healthier foods, it's hard when you have no appetite.
in reply to london-man
I like green tea, apparently it's good for your metabolism. Very difficult when you have no appetite. Have you tried eating little and often? My appetite is terrible lately.

Hiya. Iv been taking evening primrose oil tablets been using them 2 months now as they take 1 month to really get into your system and I can say there is a change I'm not as bad still not 100% but not worry about little things and things that use to make me panic really don't now or not as bad as they did anyway !!! I spoke to my doc about this sort of thing she said the only ones I need to tell her about are St jhons wart coz they can do something to the tablets you might be taking ! Hope it helps abit ! X

Oh that's great advice thanks Stacey
I use the Bach 'Sleep' rescue remedy if I am having anxious thoughts as this seems to help, however, I am on meds too so it's used as back up. I also drink camomile tea, which I never ever thought I would, and really enjoy it now. Have cut my sugar intake so that's a bonus too. Relaxation cds also help me. IO also use the sleep remedy before I go to bed at night. Hope that this helps. xx

Thanks Jeffju! I have been using kalms sleep tablets but the pharmacist told me not to mix meds and herbal. I don't quite know what to do as since taking the kalms I have relaxed more in bed. And that's the time I'm normally at my worst. x
Just phone ya doc and ask if unsure but like I said I was told its fine apart from the St John wart one ! Glad the kalms r helping with the sleep nothing worse that no sleep I know ! X
in reply to Stacey83
Thanks Stacey x
I would check with your GP about the Kalms. As Stacey says, I thought it was St. Johns Wort that you had to be careful with but your GP would definately know. My GP recommended Bach rescue remedy, it's made from flowers so shouldn't do you any harm. I do use the sleep one though apparently it's better for those anxiopus thoughts. xx
in reply to Jeffju
Thanks for the advice
I've used Bach Flower remedies for years and know that they support my emotions and definitely support me! Rescue remedy and sleep are good 'staple' remedies to have, but there are many more that I use on a daily basis to support me. In my opinion they definitely work and are something that you can use to help yourself on a daily basis.
i got a spray of this today, not sure if its just placebo but its calmed me quite a bit
