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 not sure if you are taking any prescribed medications for your anxiety but if you are I think any herbal meds that contain St John’s wort should be avoided. I can’t remember why it’s just one of those pointless facts you drag from the back of your brain.

    At the risk of being shot down…. Have you tried Lavender? I use a pillow mist by Avon on my clothes and I find it helps. It doesn’t smell like a typical old ladies knicker drawer either.
