Using Herbs for anxiety? Help!

[anxiousalexis]

So since my anxiety has been pretty bad, I'm trying Eastern medicine. The doctor didn't do acupuncture on me, but he did give me herbs.. A LOT OF THEM! I have to take like 24 a day lol. Is that normal? I took my 12 a few hours ago but i feel sick, is this my anxiety or is it the herbs? I know I scare myself a lot so im pretty sure that's it. Has anyone done this for their anxiety? I'm 18 too, am I taking too much? I also have no appetite and barely eating, could that be another reason I'm weak and feel sick! Im freakin out! I wanna be normal again!

Are you seeing a holistic doctor? When I started seeing mine I refuse to take what she gave me because I thought I was going to get poisoned. And that was just anxiety. After she reassured me I wasn't going to get poisoned I took them. 24 a day seem like a lot but they have been doing this for years and they know best.

This makes me feel so much better! Ive just never done it and have my doubts and my anxiety doesnt help either lol! I will keep doing it. I only have to take them for 7 days so hopefully it brings me some relief
