i have taken essential oils for a while now i have just started taking passion flower



it helps with sleep tremors and anxiety



i have seen an improvement with the tremors and it slows down the hypomanic episodes



most importantly i have seen a diference in sleeping habits i can get 4 or 5 hours sometimes enough to keep the hypomanic episodes in more control and help me physically i am pleasedb with the results with tremors when combined with benadryl but it does take a while to kick in



all in all this may be a natural way to treat symptoms without heavy meds


just a thought

I can understand wanting to try out natural things.
Natural can seem kind of better for you and your health.
I don't mind taking my meds though because it's really worked for me. I do take vitamins and I like chamomile tea for soothing myself. It's a mix for me.

meds are a way of life for me been so many years i can tell time when to take them almost to the minute they do not fully work but i have a relief so i have accepted that i will be on meds for life

hi bywena, I am glad passion flower helps for your tremors. I have made a change too. I went off resperdone to melocain spelling it's natural too. I am now able to sleep at night. I will see psychiatrist again and reevaluate. NO sleeping is difficult, too. Glad passion flower works for you. You may want to check if it has any interactions with your psychiatric drugs

    Ever since I stopped doing therapy because of insurance, I've been feeling that old tense and irritable sense of anxiety and stress. I hate that. I was making so many strides and changes during therapy, my therapist would acknowledge all of my progress and accomplishments, and I miss that reassurance. Today I thought about it, and I made those changes! She would always tell me that I chose to...
