    I know how you feel. I’ve had anxiety problems for a very long time. They started with social anxiety and then built up to full blown anxiety and panic attacks. Anyway, just wanted you to know I understand anxiety and know what has worked for me.

    I also never seemed to get any help using 5-htp or St. Johns Wart but did find significant help with Ashwagandha, phosphaditylserine, Relora, rhodiola rosea and lemon balm. It’s funny how Relora is a weight loss product but is really good at lowering anxiety levels as well. Phosphaditylserine is amazing and has helped me stop panic attacks. It is so calming. All of these could possibly help. Just try them one at a time and see which ones work best for you.

    alternative treatments such as relaxation and deep breathing techniques as well as herbal and homeopathic remedies may be very helpful along with psychotherapy.

    As with other psychological ailments, a holistic approach has proven beneficial in treating Social Anxiety, while also incorporating mainstream and complementary treatments along with balanced diet and exercise.

    Taken alone or in combination with psychotherapy, natural remedies for overcoming social anxiety disorder symptoms offer the same benefits as conventional medications, but without the disturbing side-effects and potential for addiction.

    Tailored to suit your individual needs, natural products can help relieve anxiety and calm the negative physical effects of social anxiety disorder. Some well known and commonly recommended natural remedies for overcoming social anxiety disorder symptoms include Melissa Officinalis (Lemon Balm), Lavender and Passiflora Incarnata – to soothe the mind and calm the nerves. Some herbal remedies (e.g. Hypericum perforatum or St John’s Wort) have been clinically shown to be just as effective as many of the anti-depressant drugs.

    Taken over time, they can balance brain chemistry and prevent the overwhelming symptoms of anxiety from occurring in the first place.
