My psych doc recommended Calm Aid to me. He said the active ingredient in there has shown to be sometimes just as effective with anxiety and sometimes sleep as Ativan. Has anyone tried these? What are your thoughts. Really been struggling for 2 weeks

I just checked the ingredients for you. Lavender. It could be helpful. For anxiety meditation deep breathing exercises where major muscle groups are tensed and relaxed could help. Cutting down or eliminating caffeine is an option.

Haven’t been drinking caffeine since this started. As far as meditating idk how to do it or where to start. And I’ve never really believed in it in the past but maybe that because I never tried it. It’s hard to know where to start with any and all of this while your going through hell

I bought Calm Aid once but when it arrived I read it had Sorbitol in it which really bothers my gut so I never took it. Worth trying though. Have you tried Gaba Calm by Source Naturals or Organic India Ashwagandha? They helped me in the past. Currently I take Natures Way Rhodiola Premium Extract in the morning which is an adaptagen and Dr Wilsons Super Adrenal Stress Formula in the evening which has a small amount of 5–HTP. Both have helped me.
