Hey thanks, Mystic. That gave me a lot to go on. Please remember that I am NOT a doctor, just a friend, and you should get your doctor's advice before you try anything.

Hypoglycemia can cause anxiety, but I would guess you have more going on than that.

A B vitamin deficiency can cause anxiety. You could consider trying a good-quality B complex. B3 (niacinamide) has a calming effect. Inositol is also a B vitamin - it regulates serotonin and reduces anxiety. If you decide to supplement individual B vitamins, you should also supplement a B complex for balance. I personally have improved by taking B vitamins.

A good quality calcium/magnesium supplement could also help. It usually comes in 2 parts calcium to 1 part magnesium, or you could take them individually. I was very deficient in magnesium, and I don't know what I would do without it now.

Then there are the amino acids. Be careful with taking individual amino acids unless you know a lot about them. One thing you could try though is GABA. I haven't needed to try it yet so I can't tell you my experience. Gamma-aminobutyric acid is a calming brain neurotransmitter, and it has been shown to relieve anxiety.

There has also been a lot of talk about Omega oils. Several people on the Psycho-Babble Alternative board have trouble with fish oil, but I have done good on evening primrose oil or even flax seed oil.

Well, how's that for a start? If you do decide to try natural supplements, it is wise to add only one at a time to see how your body reacts to it. A great place to start would be just a good B complex.

LOL. It's funny how being so sick and wanting so much to be well again can cause a person to pick up this much information. I sure hope if you try any of this that it helps you. Let me know.

God bless.
