swiss oak for depression and anxiety

To: Anxiety and depression sufferer,

I had suffered from anxiety for three years now, Two weeks ago, I met someone who had suffered from depression for ten years but had recovered now. It was Swiss oaks that help him, Quickly I bought it and tried it for myself, believe it or not,  after taken for about two weeks, I feel much better and not so fatigue anymore. I hope I will carry on to feel better. So, why not? Give a try! Maybe it helps you too!!! By the way, you can purchase it from GNC. It's natural and safe to take like an extra supplement. Good luck!!

Again, the only active ingredient here applicable to anxiety would be the green oats.  They are considered one of the most effective herbs for regulating mood.  Usually, because green oats aren't a specific relaxant but rather something that works on the balance of the hormones and nervous system, it takes awhile to work, unlike a specific relaxant such as kava or passionflower.  Also, again, herbs are usually used in combination, not singly.  But it's certainly worth a try.  As for a paradoxical reaction, yes, anything can cause unwanted reactions, including medications.  Everyone reacts differently.  I had a paradoxical reaction to Xanax.  After my bad Paxil withdrawal, I had a paradoxical reaction to almost everything.  It's always important to be watchful for unwanted reactions, but hasty decisions can also put us off something that might turn out to be useful once the body gets used to it.  This isn't easy.

Serious this can calm anxiety?  When you took it did you feel any side effects...like tiredness or confusion etc like the normal anti-anxiety pills make you feel? Also Paxil would this cause depression to come through to do think? and can you take this while on other med's?

It's not Swiss oaks, it's Swiss oats.  The main ingredient is green oats, which is well known for increasing testosterone and for relaxing and regulating the nervous system.  It also contains nettles, though I don't really know why.  This is usually used, again, to help the male organs, particularly the prostate, and as an antihistamine.  It's high in minerals, but hard to see how it would do anything for depression, but it couldn't hurt.  And it contains sea buckthorn, which is generally used externally for the skin.  I don't know anything about using it internally, but like all sea vegetables it likely is again high in minerals.  This formula might be a problem for someone with hyperthyroid, theoretically, or with excess iron, as nettles contains a lot of iron, again theoretically.  But all in all, a pretty safe supplement.  My only fear is it's proprietary nature from an unknown company, and buying anything at GNC, a company with a poor reputation for selling products high in supplement purity.
