anyone here use kava root for their anxiety and does it help??
trying to find natural supplements for my lingering, ongoing , non stop anxiety.
klonopin just isn't doing it for me anymore.

My son loves kava. My husband and I drank some with him and both of us were sick for two days. We had terrible stomach pain. If you don't have the stomach pain, it would work for anxiety. My son is anxious and high strung, which is why I think he likes it.
It also tastes horrible.
Have you tried valerian?

Oh yea don't want to take a risk of stomach pain my antibiotcs already did enough damage with my Gut hah.
Never tried valerian-- do you recommend that?

My husband takes "Nerve Blend" by Solaray. It contains valerian and other herbs.
I've also heard that holy basil works for anxiety, but we haven't tried that.

What about theanine with some GABA? I'd imagine valerian may put you to sleep?

Anyone ever use Phenibut?
Semia I told you to try Valerian!!! Lyme brain!

Word on the forums online seems to be phenibut builds up a tolerance quick.. I suppose the poweder is cheap enough in bulk but it just doesn't seem like a good long term solution for that reason.

And my husband has an iron gut!!!
I have used valerian, though I don't use it all the time. It was beneficial when I was wedding planning with my daughters. It can make you sleepy, but if you're really anxious, sleepy may be preferred.
Do you think you have histamine issues? It seems to be common amongst us. If you can't process histamine, it can cause anxiety. I have to eat a low histamine diet and take DAO to process what histamine I do get overloaded on.
