any supplements besides st john's wort to help irritablility and anxiety?

Answer 1

Usually it's the "B" vitamins that work. But instead of just building up on only B's, get yourself a good multi-vitamin with minerals. Eat good, sleep good, get some exercise. Stay off junk food and sugary things like soft drinks, tea and coffee.

This is just an off-the-wall thought here, get to your doctor and have a general exam. Ask them what's missing (what vitamins from your system). Sometimes a low level of infection could cause a person to be jittery, or stress, strain or glare, hormonal changesl, the need for glasses even, or even an allergy..

Answer 2

This may or may not work but I used it to help quit smoking when I found out that tobacco contains a lot of lithium.

Green bell peppers also contain lithium and I would eat one a day when I was quitting the cigs. I cannot prove it but feel that it did help. I would cut them up, get rid of all the inside stuff and then fry them or boil them a little. Fried and added to a hamburg (pepper burger...hmmmm, good) or just as a side dish with a little salt and butter.

u know, I've been off the cigs for almost three years but right now I am craving a pepper burger, oh great, now I'm addicted to bell peppers...LOL

Answer 3

How about a little mind workout?

Anxiety and irritability are both a result of worrying and thinking negative thoughts.

Medications only mask the symptoms. They are not a cure.

Try 3 deep breaths. When you are anxious or tense, you tend to take very shallow breaths.

Try a progressive muscle relaxation exercise.

Learn a meditation technique. Very good for getting in touch with you feelings.

Try going for a long walk.

Answer 4

I have tried many supplements. I am afraid nothing works better than the old fashioned remedies like valium, codiene, and other assorted items. Over the counter items really don't help with serious problems. You should ask a doctor.

Answer 5

There is a homeopathic thing called rescue remedy...you can ask in a health food store. Sam-E is an option. Also Omega-3 fish oil.

Answer 6

Hey girlfriend, try eating more foods rich in the mineral magnesium.

leafy greens, broccolli, kale, spinach, tuna, salmon, nuts and seeds ..................... all really good for you and rich in magnesium which is essential for healthy supple veins and nerves............ magnesium is known as the antistress mineral and is also good to get in magnesium oxide supplements. Dietary lack of magnesium is also a common cause of constipation.
