Calming Medication

Steven

Does anyone know of any over-the-counter medication that treats anxiety, please? I'm tense *all* the time - even when nothing stressful is imminent, even as I try to sleep. I've looked but, most times, the medication is aimed at people lacking sleep; these days, I sometimes sleep for 12 hours or more without cause...which is alarming and tension-creating in itself.

Thank you.

  • I'm sorry, I don't have the answer you're looking for.. but I did want to chime in (without knowing how applicable this is to your situation), just incase, with my personal observation that just being in nature, and being the *** away from NTs, has the biggest effect for me.. Not that I've tried any drugs for it except weed, which makes it worse. But the point is, with being in nature, having nice views and a relaxing world around you not demanding anything of you, I don't need any drugs.. I even gave up the smoking without noticing it, in like two weeks..
    Inversely, living in a fearful situation is a very bad contributor, but I've also starved a bunch of times and been living in the face of unreasonably aggressive threats to my existence from both people and government (in Australia), and after my wife tried to kill me I was lucky enough to get dragged out of there by a friend and given refuge at his farm on a mountain for a few months.. The things that did for me.. If I'd had another 6 months there before getting kicked out I think I would have been living my real best life lol.
    So now I'm focusing on fixing transport for myself so I can go to places like that again. If you don't have your own transport, I think it's something well worth prioritising. When you have access to nature and open space without other people, you get to focus on what you want and your world changes.
