In reply to Herbs or off the counter meds for ANXIETY?, posted by adamie on November 25, 2001, at 17:20:30
I agree with Geno that the over the counter stuff is not as good as prescriptions. Kava did help me with anxiety. It generally works within about 30 minutes. I needed it the first few weeks on Celexa but then the anxiety went away.
> Please help me decide what to buy regarding a non prescription med for anxiety. i wont be seeing a pdoc until the 29th and i am dealing with a lot of mind torture right now. i dunno if i exactly have anxiety but so far i have felt my best on meds which work for both anxiety and depression. on paxil I once actually felt like i may recover. then that ended.

> also maybe there an anxiety med which may not be sedating, therefor i can take during early in the day to see if it negatively effects me or not? because most meds i tried i have felt a worsening effect.

> also I take Chalomile tea to help me sleep. I dunno if it helps. Maybe a little. is chalomile safe to take when you have depression and anxiety? any harm to take it while taking some off the counter anxiety med?
