Natural remedies for anxiety: seeking advice

I've tried multiple anti depressants as well as xanax. None seem to work. Are there any vitamins or supplements that have helped anyone? I want to try a more natural remedy approach to my anxiety.

Can you help? Connect today

Ashwagandha has seemed to be helpful for a lot of people, as well as a tea called "Rassa."

i used to take anti-depressants but then i stopped because they weren't working. i realized with the help of my doctor that my anxiety is what ends up fueling my depression so focusing on finding anti-anxiety meds has helped me a lot personally. and maybe that can help?

I grew up in alaska and a lot of people got depression from the lack of sunlight. Try a vitamin d supplement and a happy light, it might help ❤️

Hi there!! I take a mix of my antidepressant and natural remedy tinctures! I've noticed that sometimes my antidepressants dont do enough, I can definitely feel that they are helping when I've forgotten to take them a few days and felt a huge difference, but they're not perfect and so I use natural remedies to try and give me a boost. I usually take Valerian Root, Passion Flower Extract, and HRJAKSIDHABAMSLCPIDBWBWBRHCIK daily. I've also recently gotten my Medical Card for MMJ for my back pain but it does wonders for stress and anxiety as well but assuming that you may not be from a state where it's legal before I got my card the natural remedies did help. They're not a fix all but they help. Also sunlight. Vitamin D deficiency is a lot more serious than people think. Even just 5 minutes a day starts doing wonders I'm serious if you have a dog take them out on a walk or go out and sit in your yard and just feel the outside for a bit grab something to drink and a book and relax a bit. Go on a mid morning walk right before it starts getting hot (depending on what state you're in currently) but outdoor activities are very beneficial

I take all kinds of herbs and supplements on occasion, most of which help even in a placebo way. I think my favorites are catnip, lavender, GABA, valerian, and mugwort :)

Oh and St. John’s wort is proven better than any antidepressant drug

Weed helped me so much. I got off all sorts of mental health meds which were doing nothing for my depression, OCD or C-PTSD, using cannabis. If your state doesn't have it legally available, look into CBD, it's nonpsychoactive and has fewer legal restrictions, but is still helpful for many with depression, anxiety, chronic pain, and sleep disorders.

My functional medicine Dr has just put me on omega 3, vit D, b12 and a women's probiotic. I am deficient in all of these but they all help with mental health as well !
