I have suffered with anxiety now for almost 11 years and lucky to say that I have been medication free for about 6 years (I had a course of CBT which helped me in a big way), I have my ups and downs like most of us but recently for some unknown reason my anxiety seems to have rocketted out of the roof and I'm having trouble bringing it down to a comfortable and controllable level.
I found a website on kava kava and its says that this is good for anxiety, stress and muscle tnesion but shouldn't be taken for any longer than a month which is great! because I don't want to be taking anything on a long term basis, I'm frightened that if I go to the doctor he will just prescribe me depressants and after doing so well for almost 6 years I would feel like I hadput myself back to square one.
Just wondered if anyone had tried it and if they did, did it work for them or not??
