    natural or chemical?

    hello
    i have anxiety and depression and got prescribed Citalopram by my GP last week. I took 20mg one evening and the next day i literally thought i had gone insane. im now very wary of any anti depressant due to this horrible experience!
    BUT ive been recommended to go and see a herbalist and she believes that panic attacks, anxiety and depression can be cured naturally?
    any thoughts or advice would be muchos appreciated!

    Hi Keek

    Firstly...Like alot of meds, anxiety meds may cause possible side effects. They certainly don't work straight off as it usualy takes a few weeks for them to enter your system and being to take effect. There are so many anx meds out there so please don't let one put you off.

    On the Herbal side, if you feel more comfortable trying this route then it really is worth a try. Remember though, you should still check herbal meds out with your GP especially if you are on any other medication as they can still counter act.

    I hope you find something that helps
    Take care
    Lisa

    Try talking to a Naturpathic Doctor for you anxiety. They focus on vitamins, lifestyle changes, exercise, healthy diet, and herbs for good health.
