I don't want to take xanax or other addictive meds.
Answer:Try Valerian, you can get it in any pharmacy. It comes in capsule form. Heads up, it has a terrible odor to it. It works for some people.
Anything with St Johns wort might help - also Exercise is great for relieving anxiety and depression. Also I work wiht a company that has a product with st johns wort. Let me know if you want more information

See a kanieseologist(spell check that). Most can help u with mental problems by treating u with herbel remedies or supplements. I'm seeing one now and put me on some liquid drop stuff that helped a lot with anxiety.
Lavender essential oil works well as aromatherapy.
Vitamin B Complex is recommended, as well as Valerian Root tablets. You should be able to find both at a pharmacy over the counter. goodluck finding something that works for you!
First off, proper diet and a good exercise regime is the best thing. Exercise is a great way to work off the anxiety. Valerian like someone else said is good. I use Shaklee supplements and their Stress Relief Complex is good for anxiety. It contains 100mg L-theanine, 100mg ashwagandha root extract, 60mg beta sitosterol, and 100mg L-tyrosine. Anxiety is a difficult thing to beat. Figure out the source of the problem and try to find a way to solve or cope with it. Don't be afraid to try Xanax or Paxil for short periods of time- they can be very helpful while you figure out how to handle the situation causing the anxiety. Best of luck
St Johns wort may help (pills or the horribly tasting tea), but it takes a long time before results can be felt.
