anyone ever try herbal remedies?

I read on the web today that taking fish oil and folic acid can be helpful for anxiety. Has anyone ever tried this? I would be willing for sure if I thought it would help. It's definitely cheap enough....

hi tamstersf64,

yeah i read about omega 3 fish oils some time ago i have suffered with anxiety and slight depression for about 3-4 years and i thought i would give it a try i now eat salmon everyday and i have seen a difference with my anxiety i find any protein food help i,e nuts chicken tuna etc etc ,


i have tried st johns wort which helped for a time but they didnt reay agree with me ..

darren :D

Glad to hear it helped some Darren, I guess it's worth a shot cuz it surely won't make it worse. And if it's good for my cholesterol, why not....I won't even try St. John's Wort because a friend of mine used to take it to replace speed and it worked. Since I have had a meth addiction in the past, a lot of anti anxiety drugs scare me because some of them make a person react in the same ways as a stimulant. I read a book by Danielle Steel called His Bright Light which is about her son who was bi polar/manic depressive and commited suicide in 97. She tells of some warning signs in there that I knew nothing about.. really very interesting. She said that some (not all) people who are going to have mental problems cannot take certain meds because they make them react totally opposite from what they are supposed to, go figure...enough rambling, but I thought it was interesting. Thanks again Darren

hi ive tried herble remedies a few of them actually but none of them worked for me i went to a chinese herbel shop and brought these tablets that cost me £10 a had to take 6 two times a day they were horrible lookin things and didnt smell very pleasent but the lady who sold them to me said if i took the whole course it would cure me she also gave me a remedy that jou put on you temples and under your nose that supposed to carm you down that cost me a fiver i cant tell u what they were called though because the name and the ingrediants were written in chinise but i didnt care at the time i would try anythin just to get rid of them ive had panick attacks since i was 8 im now 25 i went to the doctors and every thing but he wouldnt put me on anything he said he thought id be better gettin over them myself by gettin a hobbie any way there were about five hundred tablets in there i took them for about 3 wks but didnt feel any difference i stopped after about 4 weeks anyway cus i read in the paper that there some of the ingrediants in these herbel remidies thet are harmful to the liver and it scared me a bit but i dont think it is worth spendin alot of money on these things because the majority of them dont work
