Hi there. there are plenty of, I think, great natural supplements you can take to alleviate symptoms. The dose at which you would need to take for each of these for a good effect would of course be specific to you, your body weight, and so on. But, here are a few:
-The herb, Kava, is good for relaxation and reducing muscle tension and anxiety.
-The herb, Valerian Root, is also good for that as well as helping to get to sleep at night.
-Taking Magnesium at night also helps to get to sleep. I take as much as 800mg-1,500mg. at night for sleep and I am 6'4" 250lbs.
-The amino acid supplement, DL-phenylalanine (and L-phenylalanine also), has good anti-depressant effects whereby it helps restore your brain's level of neurotransmitters that are specific to mood and things like that. I take 2,000mg-2,500mg. twice a day.
Hope that helps. I'm sure there are plenty of members on this forum that would have many many more suggestions on supplements and different recomendations as far as dosages go. HANG IN THERE!!!
