Benzodiazepine Substitutes??

[leibs]

Does anyone know of any substitutes other then alcohol and benzos (also some GABA-free options if you know any) for anxiety. All I really know is Chamomile Tea and Valerian Root helps ease anxiety a little.

5htp has worked well for anxiety in a lot of people.

Melatonin for sleep
Phenibut, Picamilon (GABA derivatives) are helpful for anxiety, but addictive, so be careful.

Daily exercise is a great way to relieve stress, I strongly recommend you try exercising daily if you don't already before using drugs.

Passion fruit or its tea also works well, specially if you are not used to it.
I agree that exercises will definitely work, once you start you'll feel good.

Not that I am doing much myself but it worked for me.

progessive muscel relaxtion exercises have help some people.

I agree prolly the best thing is a good hard daily workout.

passionflower and syrian rue I believe tickles the same receptors as a benzo. Sedating, relaxing...
