alternative medication

[mrk74]

Hi everyone, I just wondered if anyone could suggest any alternative medication for anxiety, as all the prescription drugs I have used have given me terrible side effects.

Have you tried Bach Rescue Remedy? (sold in NMP shop) also available as a lozenge.
I use lots of lavender, as a massage oil and to sniff when the anxiety is bad.

How about exercise?

Passiflora is very good... and vitamin b complex...

Hope Stella Artois isn't one of your alternatives...

Thanks for the tips, I do lots of cycling which does help get rid of some nervous tension. Think il give the bach rescue remedy a try.

Hi, I've found the b complex to work so well, and magnesium is good especially for sleep. For me the rescue remedy did nothing :( I think my anxiety levels were just too high... and exercise is a must for me too!
