It honestly depends on how bad u r. if its mild 2 moderate i would go dwn the herbal route. Valerion hops + scullcap r exelent 4 anxiety take a few weeks 2 work, r not as fast actin as medicines but wen catch up really do work. U cant take herbal meds wiv prescription meds like anti depressants. A lot of meds cause som people like my self side effecys but we all somtimes need that help. So like i said try herbal route but if really severe go 2 Drs. Bst wishes.**

Hi. annie. If you are having 'bad' anxiety attacks then you must go to your GP. Do not delay. Herbal remedies will not do a lot for bad anxiety and they take time to work, if at all. When you start to get well then by all means look to herbal medicine. Self diagnosis is dangerous. You have a responsibility to your daughter to get professional help. Do it now and do not be afraid to do so. Doctors these days are fully aware of the anxiety problem so will give you appropriate medication. You WILL get well but do the sensible thing NOW. Best wishes. jonathan.
