Have you tried any SSRI drugs, also 5htp would be a good combination with inositol. Are you taking any minerals, vitamins, fish oil etc

Dont try and fight your thoughts, you will only make your stress even more greater. For the time try and accept them as your mind playing tricks on you and your not going crazy. I have this problem as well, you need to find what works for you. It took me a while to learn that magnesium is really effective for my anxiety.

I understand, just remember there only thoughts and cant hurt you. The more your willing to accept your thoughts the less power they have. Even if they are ugly thoughts. I use magnesium citrate, but most magnesium will do ok. I would also take 5htp and inositol as well

Actually, magnesium taurate is usually considered the best choice of magnesiums. Magnesium oxide is poorly absorbed in the body. If you do a search of PsychoBable, you can read lots of good info about magnesium and such! :)

Valium, Klonopin, Xanax. I've been there and I know. You can try to de-stress, meditation, put your mind in a better place. Pick a scenario that makes you stress free and live it in your mind. Theanine might help a little but from my experience when your mind is going nuts there is not much that can help, in the short term, that isn't prescription.
