Hi. I'm new to this board. I've tried SJW, and HTTP, but both of these cause this insane anxiety. I feel that I just can't calm down. I'm really at a loss. I just don't know what to do anymore. What can I take that's natural that will help me calm down. I've been dealing with this for years. I know that when I stopped taking the SJW or HTTP, my depression came back, so I feel that I can't really stop taking those. But this irritability/ansiety is making me crazy. What should I do??? I took kava a few years ago, and it calmed me down, but then I read about all those liver issues with kava, and it scared me, so I stopped taking it. Anyway, please help me because I don't know what to do from here. Thanks....

I can relate to your problem because I also suffer extreme anxiety. Its like a knot in your stomach that won't go away, and you get palpatations, sometimes its so bad you can actually feel sick. I have tried almost all types of herbal remedies, and whilst I felt that SJW helped me at the beginning I feel it is less effective now. Probably one of the best herbal remedies is valerian, which can be taken for anxiety during the day and there is a night time formula for sleep. However, personally I think that for such extreme anxiety herbal remedies are not effective enough, I never wanted to take prescription meds but now for the first time I'm considering it. The thing to remember is that anxiety over long periods of time is very bad for your health, which is why you must find something that is going to work quite quick. Might be worth asking your doctor.

Hi All
Have any of you tried 5-htp from natures way.I have been on perkia and Kiria and found they did nothing for my anxiety.But the last week i have taken 50mg of 5-htp and fingers crossed it seems to be working.I took one with food to-day and i felt a surge of energy for a while but now in the afternoon i feel relaxed.

I'm actually taking HTP from Nature's Way right now. Started about a week or so ago. I'm feeling this unnatural feeling. It's energy, but a really unrelaxed type of energy. I'm trying ot calm myself, but not sure how. It's kind of helping with the depression, but it's just producing this really weird kind of feelings. It's like I can't feel my real feeling, if that makes any kind of sense. Anyone else experience something kind of like this?

I have Babsie
I got that feeling when i was on antdepressants.They blocked alot of emotions and left me feeling with not much emotions either good or bad.I think it is a bit of a trade off to be honest between having a racing mind and can't get your thoughts together or feeling no anxiety with some blocked emotions.I would stay on the 5-htp for another while yet because your body is still only geting used of the serotonin and eventually that will settle down.
