> > Any recommendations on the best supplements for anxiety? I've tried all the antidepressants but I can't handle them, i get way too sedated. My anxiety comes and goes, I get anxiety attacks where I start shaking and now I pop a xanax to get rid of it, but I'd like to get away from the xanax. I'd say it happens once a week or once ever two weeks, not often enough to tolerate the side-effects of antidepressants. Kava or Valerian? These say they are good for insomnia, but I don't have that and don't want somethign that will make me tired.. any advice??

Passion flower has definitely worked for me, in the past, but only certain brands. Some of the no name brands I've tried do nothing. I also like the anxiety clearing effect of ashwagandha. Have you tried any of those?What brand of passion flower did you use that worked?
