hi bonkers,its an amino acid,i think,supposed to be a natural antidepressant,something like st johns wort, but im not sure if its any good for anxiety,and thats what i need it for,I would try it ,but I dont want it to give me panic attacks,like the ssris does,tnx for replying.xxx

5 htp ,stjohns wort are natural anti depressants,they will work effectively only when you inentify the the causes of itand address them. bp,diabetes insomnia nervous weakness and other problems too can cause anxiety,depression.

hi ash,I have been diagnosed with gad, and mild depression,mainly caused by the anxiety,ssri ads dont agree with me,as they give me panic attacks,I have no other health problems..I just really want to find out if it causes anxiety to increase, or if it calms it,I am afraid to take them,tnx for replying.xxxx
