Definitely yes on exercise!
But I need more help than what I get from just exercise.As I mentioned in my original post, I am taking inositol 18g/day. I just started taking rhodiola rosea and am playing around with dose.
When my order arrives in a few days, I will also try taking a chelated calcium &magnesium glycinate supplement and a b-complex supplement.
Others near the top of my list to maybe try are:
(in no particular order)Brahmi
Gotu kola
Lemon balm
Chamomile
Theanine/L-theanine
Passionflower
Skullcap/scullcapHas anyone tried a chamomile & lemon balm combo?
Beauberry: I'd love to hear more about your experience with lemon balm, including brand, dosage, preparation, etc.
Any experiences with passionflower?
I'm not so interested in herbs/supplements that help with sleep. I have insomnia, but I also suffer from anxiety all day. I want to be awake during the day, not in a sleepy stupor! I can always take an ambien for sleep. I think my sleep will improve when my anxiety improves.
Thanks for everyone's suggestions!
