Anything herbal is gonna be pretty mild. I take benedryll, 25mg caps one usually, sometimes two. Walmart cheap.

benedryl is an antihistamine?

[Raven88]

^ Yes.

Has some drowsiness sides which I assume can help calm an uptight individual.

Nothing OTC helps combat my anxiety levels sometimes so I have a script for Xanax, but ONLY use "as needed". Benzos have a high risk for dependency and I don't want to go there.

I like "Happy Campers" it's all herbal and sold at most natural food markets... kava kava is also good to relax.... and 5-htp helps the release of seratonin, the feel good stuff... usually used for depression

good luck bro ... working out usually helps

i have never heard using benadryl as an anti D. Try some of the things listed above and if nothing works, result to a physician. Dont let depression take over your life

I sometimes take Benadryl for allergies, but although it makes me drowsy it actually seems to make me more anxious or edgy.

Valerian root is supposed to be good, didnt work for me though

My anxiety was pretty bad for about 5 years and would never take a script from the doc. I tried everything OTC you can think of and nothing seemed to help. I told the doc about it and he gave me a .5mg script for klonopin. I believe its the lowest dose you can get and it help me beyond belief. I take 1 at night before bed and my anxiety is basically diminished. As far as the addiction part of it goes. Ive missed about 3-4 weeks at a time with no withdrawl symptoms at all or rising anxiety levels. Im guessing because of the low dose. Long story short the script changed my life over the past 3 years and helped with my gains as well considering that there were days I wouldnt eat or have the energy for the gym.

I have tried several supps for my OCD which causes me to feel stressed and/or anxious sometimes.
I used 5-HTP and will never use again. It caused me to have sleep peralysis which is terriffying. Waking up thinking someone/thing is in the room with you but you cant move...
I used phenibut and was pleased with its calming effects.
I used St Johns wort which i found helped a lot with the sress feelings and can be used for extended periods of time (unlike phenibut)
Valerian is good for a restful stress free nights sleep.
