Supplement Recommendations for Anxiety and Panic

From Jack Welch, M.D. :

The herbal and nutritional remedies that we recommend at Nutricraze are all useful for calming mild to moderate anxiety. And for some people, these supplements may eventually be able to take the place of prescription drugs for anxiety, which can be addictive and also have unpleasant side effects. Just one caution: Never stop taking a prescription drug without first talking to your doctor.

How to Take the Supplements

By far the most effective herb on our list is kava. It works quickly, often in less than an hour; it is also safe and doesn't have a sedating effect unless you take it in excess or with prescription tranquilizers (which you should not do). By reducing anxiety without sedation, kava allows you to look more objectively at the stressors in your life.

The FDA has recently issued warnings on kava due to its adverse effects on the liver. Before using this herb, please read the entry on kava in the Nutricraze Reference Library.

The minerals in a combination supplement of calcium/ magnesium can help reduce muscle tension, while the nutrients in a vitamin B complex contribute to the production of brain chemicals called neurotransmitters. You can add all these to the kava.

You can use the valerian in two ways. If kava doesn't seem to have a calming effect for you, try valerian instead during the day. Or, if you are satisfied with daily doses of kava, you can add the valerian at night if you're having trouble sleeping, since this herb primarily functions as a sleep aid. You can also use valerian in tea form.

If there is a component of depression to your episodes of anxiety or panic, or your doctor has suggested treatment with antidepressants, consider trying either St. John's Wort or SAMe. Well-controlled clinical studies have shown that each of these supplements has compared favorably with conventional medications in the treatment of mild to moderate depression.

Important:

  • We at Nutricraze strongly recommend that everyone take a high-potency multivitamin/mineral and well-balanced antioxidant complex every day. It may be necessary to adjust the dosages outlined below to account for your own daily vitamin regimen. All of our supplement recommendations also assume you are eating a healthful diet.

  • Be aware that certain cautions are associated with taking individual supplements, especially if you have other medical conditions and/or you're taking medications. Key cautions are given in the listing below, but you need to see the Nutricraze Reference Library for a comprehensive discussion of each supplement's cautions and drug/nutrient interactions.
