Hi. I am new here and just wanted to say I had been suffering panic attacks too for about 4 years now. I have been on meds and went off of them and started seeing a homeopathic doctor. Make a long story short, I was very low in Vitamin B and C. I take B6 and Vitamin C now everyday and I can tell you, it has helped me tremendously. I think it is moreso the Vitamin B6. Google it and do some research on it or better yet, ask your own doctor. It does in fact calm you down and is good for many other things as well. Also I had to quit caffeine and that was hard but I know that has helped as well. Just wanted to offer this info to you all as I have had great success now for about a month. Keeping my fingers crossed!

For me I noticed that milk(which has vitamin d) really helps a lot. It tends to really calm my stomach which seems to be where my anxiety originates from. I also started taking probiotics(garden of life-primal defence) but I don't know if they've been helping me with this but I heard that they improve your immune system.

Hi Mich,

Do you know PMR ? Progressive Muscle Relaxation? It's used for different indications, among others for anxiety. It's usually a CD you can listen to. Depending which version you use it can really make a difference. I prefer the "whole" program with excercise for the whole body, but also the basic program can be quite useful.

Whatever you'll try - good luck!

Depending on how much you're outside to get sunlight, Vitamin D to help combat seasonal depression. I've also heard that Omega 3 oils help to keep certain compounds in your brain balanced. But I don't know about that for sure.

Great question mich991. We would suggest you consult your family physician or pharmacist before taking any medications or supplements.

Members, these are some great suggestions. Any others?

Hello again everyone,

I don't think that my anxiety is bad enough that I need to be put on medication but I have read and hear a lot about natural vitamins and supplements and how they can really help with anxiety and in some cases even help to get rid of it. I am wondering if there are others that have chosen not to be on medication and have decided to try taking or been told to take certain vitamins or supplements to help with their anxiety. I have read a lot about Vitamin B supplements and how they can really help with anxiety symptoms. Any input would be greatly appreciated with regards to natural vitamins or supplements that you have taken or have been told to take that have really helped with your anxiety. Thank you!!
