" Dear Temgirl,
I'm finding that kava kava begins to work after about 1 month (2 capsule 250 mg.)...and I've tried many natural remedies that didn't work.
I'm finding LESS need of anti-anxiety meds.
I still take my anxiety medication, but the dose I need is getting getting a little lower NATURALLY.
Best wishes! "

" they seem to do little better than placebo effect only

valerian is said by some to work and is used a lot in russia, but some naturapaths say its no help, would help if the naturapaths could agree on what does work "

" I LOVE Rescue Remedy by Bach for immediate relief for attacks. It doesn't totally take it away but it really helps me to centre myself and bring myself back from the "brink" in the acute stages of attack. I do not take any other medication. Zoloft and Paxil did not work for my anxiety, but that is just me. DO NOT STOP taking any Rx without the advice of doctor as I just stopped taking Zoloft(when on it about 7 years ago) and thought I was losing my mind, hallucinated and everything...very scarey!! "
