Drama = Stress
Hi All,
I hope everyone is coping well with their Fibro. I've been very stressed this past couple of weeks due to issues in dh's family. It is causing me to be a bit depressed and I don't want to take any more meds than I have to.
Does anyone know of a good herbal supplement that will help with the anxiety & stress. I read some place once that Jim Carey uses herbal remedies, but I can't find it now. Or I'm just not seeing it.
Thanks in advance. I have no one to talk to :( (I hope I posted in the right place)

Hi, Lilli,
Sorry to hear that you're going through all that stress. Hang in there.
As for herbal supplements (I am by no means a doctor, this is just my personal experience) SAMe is used for depression. Also Valerian root is used for anxiety and sleep disorders. I used Valerian for a long time until I had to start taking prescription meds. I took it at bedtimea nd it helped me sleep and also helped with my anxiety. You can get them both at WalMart or almost any drug store.
You came to the right place. FM and depression go hand-in-hand. Don't hesitate to come here and vent if you need to. You have friends here.
Take care,
Nettie

PLEASE do NOT take anything herbal without checking with your doc or at least a pharmacist as some of them do no mix with prescription meds and can be deadly. I just worry because so many people think herbal means safe and that isn't always true so please check with someone so you don't end up in the hospital or worse.
Hi,
My husband was taking Ginko Baloba with his meds and he had major heart palpitations that made his chest tighten and beat crazy. He takes a blood pressure and Norco. We didn't know what was the cause so he called his doctor and they hooked him up to a 24 hr heart monitor. Then we realized that it was the Ginko. Herbal Supplements are not a good idea to take, even if you are careful. The only way really to be careful is to not take it. Unless you have a Drug Interaction book or call your RX before you take anything. Since you don't know what will happen, you don't want to find out the hard way. Just lookin out for my Fibro friends.
