Lemon balm - i like New Chapter Lemon Balm Force (found it on amazon). A serving size is 1 capsule and contains 300mg.

Glycine - 5g helps me sleep much better. Id try ot on a weekend to make sure its not too sedating. It could make you groggy in the morning.

Baclofen - ive read a huge range of doses but ive found 5-10mg up to a few times a day sufficient. There are studies involving using it for alcohol abstinence and the doses are much greater.

Thanks man.

Hands down the best for GAD. Add it to the list.

Gabapentin (aka; Neurontin . . . off label usage is treating anxiety),
hands down the best I have ever used, and I too, like Brickshthouse79,
could write a book on anti-anxiety meds. (Xanax is still the best, the
go to for break-through anxiety, but use infrequently.)

Gabapentin is taken orally 3X per day. 900mg, 3X per day seems to
be the beginnings of a therapeutic dosage. Zero side effects, not habit
forming, no tolerance build-up and absolute magic for GAD. And very
safe when compared to all the other crap doctors will try (well meaning)
to cram down your throat.

Any supplements, vitamins, minerals, potions, lotions are worse than
worthless in my opinion and I have tried literally everything, and
some things you have never heard of. You want ‘something’ that really
works, all the time, every time, get a doc to write a script. My opinion.

Notwithstanding (last paragraph) . . . I am happy to read that CDB oil
has helped many (not me). But those that think that it does not effect
brain chemistry, therefore safe, do not believe all you read from the
‘hemp folks’. It does affect brain chemistry (not saying in a bad way)
and to believe otherwise is foolish in my opinion.

hey bud! good to see you!
while i dislike most of these sort of meds i did use pregabalin for a while for sleep and when needed during the day. i prefer that to gaba. the one side effect that i did find annoying was a twitiching in my hand.

i stopped taking it and prefer to stay away but it is a decent suggestion not often mentioned and useful for sleep too.

i think you also know i very much am not a fan of all the bandwagon canabiniod fix all craze and while cannabis is great as by and large does not play with more problematic neuro chem like dopamine and serotonin. it does certainly interact with our endocanabinoid system.

we dont have enough new science into all this to provide us with sufficient terminology. but i will toss out this idea for all to ponder as most here do some sort of exercise.

previously it was thought that "runners high" was atributed to endorphins. we now atribute it more to activity withing the endocanabinoid system.

when i was very young i sort of by accident realized sports and physical activity were very good for me mentally. i needed to really exhaust myself but in general i felt better and had less problems when i was active in sport seasons.

everyone has heard me talk about what an important and essential supliment cannabis is to my life. in many ways i wish it were not the case but the reality is so undeniably different that to me it becomes a basic freedom/human rights issue. why be forced to purchase poinsin when one in theory could have a plant for free.

sort of went off on a ramble there... though i geuss something to think about to get your mind off the anxiety. lol

in short yes gaba and preg helpf or anxiety in less ofensive chemical ways.. yes there are truley natural sups that in theory we could all have access too, should we ever choose to think logically. lol
