i heard omega fish oils help with anxiety. has anyone tried this and does it help? also some B vitamins like B-12 helps with the brain and nerves?
b12 is good for your brain as is B6 I think fish oils also help brain function.

If you are taking medication for your anxiety from the doctor, you need to check with him whether its ok to take other supplements. My daughter was on ~~HTP1 which is supposed to be good for anxiety. Unfortunately, it did not help but everone is different, what works for one, may not work for another but please check with your doctor first. The health food shops will be willing to sell you anything you are prepared to buy. Hope all goes well.
Thanks for the reply. I am not on any medication. I refuse to be on any medications! Everytime I take any over the counter medicines advil, tylenol, cough syrups anything I always have a teensy bit of a panic. I feel like im having an allergic reaction. Even though im probably not. I dont know why. Thats just me. I just figure trying taking them omega fish oils because I dont eat fish everyday. Maybe twice a month. Thought it be ok. But I will talk to a doctor about it first before trying.
Hiya I take juice plus. Witch is 27 varieties of fruit vegetables and berries aday and omega 3 I feel alot systoms have gone over the past few months I have the odd time were I worrie but it's calmed down loads
You sound just like my daughter. She was totally adverse to any kind of conventional medication or anti depressant that would help her with her anxiety and she struggled for such a long time. Even if she took something herbal she was sure she was having a reaction to it just like yourself. She is no. taking Sertraline despite her reservations and is on the road to recovery although she still has a way to go. Please do not be afraid to try something that may help,
Oh I am sooo afraid... I hear about all the side affects and it freaks me out! From a scale on 1-10 and 10 being the worst about my panic attacks/anxiety ive had one time a 10 and the others now maybe the highest a 6-7. I kinda know when my anxiety is about to hit and as soon as I know I do something to get rid of it fast.
The side effects do not last forever and there is no guarantee that you are going to get any. You are so like my daughter. Yes she had side effects byt we reinforced the fact that she had to take them to get better and she did even though there were days when she was really ill. Her side effects have mostly gone now. It will be worth it in the long run if you can just conguer your fear. Do you want to feel how you feel now forever or are you prepared to feel like nothing on earth for a short time and then start to feel better.
I know I know.... :-( I need to conquer my fears. Thanks for your advice.
Hi i understand how you feel - even frightenend to take paracetemol at the moment!! My friend has given me loads of stuff from her alternative medicine shop but still scared!!! I got stung by a bee a couple of weeks ago - cannot tell you how panicky i got even though i'm not allergic to bee stings. Think its a control thing and i am constantly frightenend that something is going to enter my body that i cannot control. Even something as silly as i'll have a drink of water from a glass and be frightenend a bit of glass has gone inside. Stupid i know. xx
Hey ambee.... I juice every morning. I make my own. I put lots of celery cause it helps with the nervous system, banana, orange, peeled apple, carrots, strawberries, spinach, kale, chard, cranberries and raspberries. I think its helped in a way. Or maybe its a mind thing. Who knows... but whatever it is, it works for me.
Oh wait.... the juice has omega 3 in it?
Hi catherine... I know its a scary feeling! I wasnt like that 3 years ago. My anxiety just started 3 years ago. Freakin sucks!
