Hello,
I am new here and would like some help...
I am currently taking a benzodiazepene for severe anxiety and I would like to get off of it. I want to find a safe, perhaps natural, EFFECTIVE, substitute for this drug that I may be building a tolerance to. I also fear it's addictive qualities. I am also taking celexa for anxiety but have not beneffited from it, as far as I can tell.
Has anyone successfully found alternatives to the benzos that really work just as well, or nearly as well for quelling anxiety? Even if you haven't been on benzos, but know of other natural/safe supplements that can help, please respond. I have tried gaba, l-theanine, scullcap, kava with no success. I eat well, meditate, exercise, and go to therapy. I am trying to heal this part of myself in a safe and gentle, effective manner.
Thanks for any and all advice. Please specify the supplement dosage and manufacturer, and you success with it.
Yours, Jonah
