A quick search on magnesium should convince you it's well docuмented and well worth trying.

Yes, most people are deficient in magnesium so it is wise to supplement but be patient and consistent since it can take a few months to get your level up to where it should be depending of course, on how deficient you are. Also eat lots of vegetables and avoid caffeine and sugar. Drink plenty of water.

Also supplement with a good source of B vitamins. I have also heard that zinc may be helpful but it doesn't take much zinc each day, maybe 15 or 30 mg., but it'd be best to consult with a holistic MD, a naturopath or an herbalist to determine your nutritional levels and needs.

I have also heard that people have been helped with their anxiety during the day by helping their sleep at night. A friend takes Inositol and 5HTP during the day to help with sleep and then magnesium, potassium and melatonin at bedtime.

Lastly don't forget good old excercise to help with anxiety, depression etc.

Best wishes to your health.

Rescue remedy is very good and in England we can buy it in the large supermarkets. Also Magnesium as Penitent and wallflower have already mentioned.

It may be worth increasing your omega-3 fatty acids in your diet as well as exercise. St John's wort can help but can also interfere with other meds. Or take 60mg of ginkgo biloba daily which may help relieve symptoms.

Hope something on here is useful and that you are feeling better soon
