Hi ,
yes I am, I have been anxious for years but for the last two years really badly after a huge panic attack.( to the point where I have not left the village I live in ) However ,despite all that I have always been determined that I will not take drugs , probably just because I would also worry about that too !! I've let it all go on for too long this time and am using all the avoidance techniques I possibly can , which of course isn't helpful at all. Then a month ago someone suggested hypnotherapy and so I am giving that a try. Its expensive, but so far after two sessions I'm already feeling a whole lot less anxious and for the first time in years feel that I might have a chance of fighting this dam thing !! I've also decided that alongside this ( even if it is just mind over matter) I am going to break some of the habits which I know feed the anxiety , by stopping myself and getting up and going for a walk every now and then, or trying some of those relaxation exercises I never see to get around to using !
I know it won't be for everyone and I was very cynical , but sometimes anything is worth a go .
hi i dont take prescription medication, i take st johns wort, omega 3 fish oil and i use a rescue remedy when im out and about all of which i feel help me i get them all from holland and barrett, i also learned how to use breathing techniques which helps as breath control plays a big part og calming down anxiety x
Hi yes I am trying to get by with taking Kalms (herbal remedy) I am really not sure that they do anything or if it is just psychological that I feel slightly better, I also try the breathing techinque and as a last resort diazapem, but I tend to try and cope without these (as I do not want to become dependant on them)x
Hi i also am doing without them i do have diazapam here for emergencies .I take fish oil pyridoxine and drink lots and lots of tea
thanks to all i have tried kalms but not much effect sharoniou what tea do you drink is it herbal
Hi i have been drinking chamomile and swear by it it has really calmed me down have 3 or 4 cups a day at least
thanks i will get some tomorrow let you know thanks so much to all who are trying to help there are people out there who understand
its defo worked for me and the pyridoxine was recommended by a group of ladies who are going through the menopause and where getting anxiety they have been a godsend they are a vitamin B supplement
i get a terrible feeling of pressure in my ears it is not ringing does any one else feel this
my ears are so sensitive I can hear a pin drop

yes you can take it with the omega 3 I asked my pharmacist.

Hi, I take 5HTP supplement & Omega3 daily. Have a decaf diet, try & keep junk food & alcohol to a min. Run 3 times a wk & aerobics once. Drink chamonmile tea for night time anxiety & use meditation & self soothing techniques for panic attacks. & finally a good cuddle off someone you love also helps : D. Hope you find some of this useful. xx
Hi Milo1,
I have never taken anything to help with my Anxiety. But i do try to get plenty of exercise and take vitamins. I also try not to drink to much caffeine drinks. It is hard at times, last night i felt incredibly Anxious, with the butterflies and dizziness, so i just sat down and breathed until it passed. It wasn't very nice like! But I myself would refuse med's if I was offered them anyway. x
HI ALL BEEN TO HEALTH SHOP BOUGHT B 6 AND OMEGA 3 IT SAYS TAKE 3 OMEGA 3 CAPSULES DAILY WITH FOOD DO YOU TAKE THEM ALL TOGETHER OR SPACE THEM OUT THROUGH THE DAY
I take one a day mine are 1000mg though,I would take one in the morning one afternoon and one at night
MINE ARE 1200 IT SAYS TAKE THREE A DAY DO YOU THINK THAT IS TOO MUCH
I wouldnt like to say but I only take 1 a day on a morning
if it says take 3 a day it must be ok x
