I frequently have digestive problems like upset stomach and mild diarrhea mainly from stress and an anxiety disorder. I have been told that taking an acidophillous supplement can help with the bacteria levels in my digestive tract. Does anyone know of any health risks/cautions I should know before taking it?
I’m 17 years old and I just got diagnosed with PVC’s,also I have high blood pressure and rapid heart rate.. the ER doctor gave me a meroprolol 25mg when I was there and it just made me feel like total crap, and ive been reading about it making alot of other people the same way. So i’m going to see if I can get switched to toprol as i’ve been hearing the better things about it. I just need some answers on these medicines…is this a good idea to switch or is metroprolol better? also is there any serious things that can happen with these medicines? because im reading the SERIOUS side effects list and it says call your doctor if you are experiencing Anxiety or irregular heart beats…well I have anxiety to begin with and also irregular heartbeats which would be the PVC’s…how am I suppose to know if I should go to the hospital or not? Any tips would be helpful i’m just kind of scared to take a medicine that messes with my heart rate…maybe im just being a wuss but just want to be safe. Thanks
I know inositol is supposed to be good for treating anxiety and insomnia but can a large dose (8 - 10 grams) actually cause insomnia. I have started having insomnia after having been on large doses of inositol for about 2 - 3 weeks.
Something that can be taken orally, i.e. natural remedy
I’m 19 years old, i just recently started taking it about 2 weeks ago, they gave it to me at the ER because i have a really bad anxiety disorder and ive developed double vision, and blurred vision and i have headaches.
I hvae no insurance to get to the doctors or anything…. im scared.
My therapist is recommending it for stress/anxiety. Are they the same?
I can’t ejaculate while taking zoloft. does this happen to everyone and will this always happen while i take it?
Ok……Does anyone know of any Herbal Remedy that will help someone relax and feel (be) more outgoing. I’m certain I suffer from some level of shyness or social anxiety. Medication for this seems to be a total waste. Therapy isn’t a great option either. I believe it has got to be something in the brain (Chemical) being released.
I don’t like drinking, but whenever I start drinking (or take an Ambien) I wanna talk with people, I am more outgoing and sociable, I relax and show and feel more emotion (happy, funny etc….). I actually thrive off the energy I get from it.
Does anyone have and suggestions? Can anyone relate? I would love to hear your story

I am looking for the profession that treats psychlogical problems (such as depression, addiction, anxiety ect) through alternative methods- such as meditation and crystals. What this basis be psychology with spiritual methods of treatment? Or would the basis be an alternative approach and if so, what would it be called and where can I obtain more information?
I only take 2 tabs of 500mg root, once in the afternoon and once in the evening. I don’t use it as a sleep aid, since I don’t have trouble sleeping when I get in the mind to sleep (although I do appreciate Valerian returning REM sleep back to me)
Can I keep up this regimen? I’ve had conflicted opinions from herbalists and physicians.
I don’t take any other herbs (tried st johns for a while but it didn’t help with the anxiety that much) and I’m definitely under the dosage some folks would recommend (1800-2000mg a day)
I get a feeling of light elation, I can feel my body relax, and I only occasionally get mild headaches (so mild they can be ignored)
Anxiety is a huge problem for me, and I’m not willing to take commercial pharmaceuticals (the heavy-handed solution, like an ice-pick in the tear duct is a solution to troublesome thoughts)
So… can I keep this up?
Some herbalists say that Valerian really takes two weeks to kick in, whereas doctors say not to take it longer than two weeks. I’m so confused.
