Natural ways to rid anxiety

[bettie1976]

Ive heard of valerian root and have taken it long ago, but does anyone know if there are alternatives to going on an antidepressant for anxiety? I want to start zoloft (klonopin and ativan arent working and zoloft worked for me before) but Im thinking natural may be the way to go. Any ideas?

i never lost any weight on zoloft...depends on how you react to it.

Hey, I am currently on Zoloft and just started taking it about 2 months ago. I was already very thin before that. Currently, 100 pounds even. Do you think this could possibly make me worse?

I use to take valerian root to sleep, never knew it helped anxiety...I have been on clonipin for 6 yrs and I live by it (I know bad to say) but It's always worked wonders for me...Yes it is a dependent medication that I do take daily, but my dr. put me on 3 a day and they are a medication that works right away, so I sometimes only take the one a day or 3 depends on how bad my anxiety is, but everyones diffrent.

I agree anti-depressants made me crazy I hated them..

i need to try that. i have horrible reactions to all anti-depressants....Zolft made me practically anorexic.
