Do Anti-Anxiety Supplements work?!?

Question:

I've been dealing with extreme anxiety attacks for the past 2 years. I was in counseling, and it didn't help, then i tried meditation, but I didn't know anything about it. I'm 15 and don't want to take anything thats going to make me kill myself (Anti-Depressants). So now I'm looking towards a supplement for it. I've found some. But are they safe? Did anyone ever try them? Did they work? Are there any that aren't so expensive?I have a Psuedoephedrine allergy, would any of them have it in it? Thank You all SO much. I really appreciate the help. If you can answer only a FEW of those questions, It would still help.

Answers:
I use Valerian and Passion Flower. Those work wonders for me. I use Passion Flower the most.
Good luck!

What are the supplements that you've found so far? There are a lot out there. If it's just anxiety, and not depression, then I'd say one of your first options to try would be Kava Kava. It's a root that helps you relax. No pseudoephedrine or anything like that (that stuff would actually have the opposite effect). Here's a website you might want to check out: www.in-sighthealth.com. They provide free nutritional counseling and some products to offer along side of it. They've got things like Kava Kava, but they'd actually be able to get more one-on-one w/ you about what you've tried and where to go from here.

Best of Luck!

You might get your blood sugar checked. Reactive hypoglycemia can precipitate anxiety or panic attacks. A simple blood rest is diagnostic.
Supplements that help anxiety include: high potency multivitamin and multipmineral, antioxidants (Vit C and E, and selenium), L-theanine, Valerian root, GABA, Sensoril, Relora, and Ultimate Stress Pills (go to swansonvitamins.com for details). Good luck!
