Hello @sews. I do not have any personal experience with any OTC product I will mention, but have done a little research. The reason I have not tried any of them is that they are contra-indicated with prescription anxiety medications. St. Johns Wort (https://nccih.nih.gov/health/stjohnswort/sjw-and-depression.htm) is the one that I believe has received the most study and some very small clinical trials. It is suggested more as an anti depressant, but there is often some overlap with anxiety/depression medications. Valerian root (https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-870/valerian). Chamomille, as in tea, is not as strong, but does produce feelings of calm for some. Those are the three I remember, but a quick google for OTC and/or minerals for anxiety will likely show you a few more.
Peace to you, Gary
Thank you Gary for the information.
@sews -- I think that @littleonefmohio and @gman007 might be able to provide some information about the type of products they were talking about as far as over-the-counter anxiety medicines.
Have you experienced anxiety, @sews?
