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 tried some stuff many years ago that was just off the shelf. Something in a yellow tin called rescue remedy.  It comes in lots of different formulations.  I cant say that any of it helped but you might have a different experience. The over the counter stuff they offer does seem to be geared towards sleep as you say. The pharmacist would be able to advise though. They are really knowledgeable and helpful people in my experience and generally have a little side room if you don’t want to talk out in the open.
