Answer 2

Some natural (and non-addictive) help for sleep are melatonin, valerian and calcium (all available in the vitamin section of any pharmacy, grocery store). Chamomile tea or Sleepytime tea (by Celestial seasonings) help too. Ambien is a very mild prescription sleep aid that is not addictive and helps get you to sleep without affecting your REM cycle so you feel rested. And with proper rest, the anxiety should come down too. Proper exercise will also help you sleep and help with anxiety.

A good vitamin B complex is very good for anxiety and I definitely feel the difference when I neglect to take it in the morning. Tell your Dr. about your reaction to Buspar and ask him to recommend something milder. Most anti-anxiety meds take a while to build up in your system, so you won't feel the difference right away. If you have a bad reaction to whatever is prescribed, call your doc. Make sure it's out of your system entirely (he'll know how long this will take) to make sure it's out of your system before you try something else. A good doc will also explore the possibility of food allergies. I had anxiety and depression for years and can't begin to list all the meds I was given. Someone finally realized that I have celiac disease. Once I removed wheat and other glutens from my system and started taking vitamin B, I was no longer anxious and able to sleep through the night. Good luck to you, and keep doing your research!

Beat Anxiety And Panic Attacks Naturally?

Answer 4

Melatonin is very good as a natural sleep aid, and there will not be any of that groggy haze that comes from prescription sleep aids. You can pick up Melatonin at Wal-mart. Melatonin is not addicting, and it's all natural.
As for the anxiety, you may want to try Welbutrin. I took it a few years ago for anxiety/panic attacks, and it worked beautifully. Keep in mind that there is an adjustment period, just like any other prescribed medicine, give it at least 30 days to see if you like it.

Answer 5

I was just reading a few days ago that a tea made from the blossoms and or bark of the Mimosa tree is good for anxiety and would not be addicting. May possibly help with sleep.

Answer 7

You probably won't need both. Most anti-anxiety meds will help you sleep. I would seek a new Dr. if your current one prescribes both without trying only one first.

Answer 8

You can try to drink "Valeriana" or "Louisa". They are both herbs and they are well known about there relaxing effect. You fix both of them as you make tea. I would also suggest you to try homeopathy instand of classic medicine.

Answer 9

Answer 10
