" Not yet...but I am sure thinking about it...AD's dont work for me...they send me into a mess of anxiety....so Ive been reading up on it and it sounds like a viable solution to at least try.

Sorry to hear about you not being able to do work...I completely understand that as I am seeking some work from home alternatives at this point myself. "

" Hey and thanks for your reply...I was doing some research and ordered something called "Natural Calm". It has a lot of goof reviews on Amazon but I am kind of worried it will make me sleepy or something. Anyways...it has magnesium and calcium and the way they work together is supposed to make you calmer and less susceptible to stress. I should get it in a few days and I will post an update about it too. I think I will try that and do a bit more research about the 5HTP first. I have to work today...wish me luck lol I am going to try to stay positive and get back on track. "

" I don't know about 5htp, but i have been taking a herb called Gotu Kola for years now. I on;y take as needed. It calms me, takes away that panic feeling, I feel like I can breath again. If I am having a bad attack it might not help or I might have to take 2. But it is cheep priced on line, you have to shop around. It really does help me and I have had no side effects from it. "
