我也有焦虑症,现在吃着remeron 45mg。
其实我赞成另一个网友说的看心理医生,上CBT cognitive behavioral therapy。
我刚发作的时候给一个心理医生上过三堂课可是觉得没什么帮助,后来发作后给另一个心理治疗师重新上过课,还有去看催眠师,KL应该有很多,两者combine我就觉得好很多了,尤其是催眠术,我觉得比CBT有效。
我接受过催眠术后慢慢就可以睡觉了。
不过不会鼓励你贸贸然停药,要减药最好还是看过医生先。
以下补助品对焦虑症有效,但也要请示过医生先,因为一些补助品如5-HTP跟你现在吃着的antidepresssant是不可以同时吃的,因为两者会影响你体内的serotonin level导致过剩。
1. Vitamin A
People with anxiety sometimes lack vitamin A. Vitamin A is an antioxidant that’s been shown to help manage anxiety symptoms.
How to use: The average supplement dose is around 10,000 international units (IU), taken as a once-daily tablet.
2. B-complex
B-complex supplements contain all the B vitamins that your body needs. Many are vital to a healthy nervous system. They may also help improve symptoms of anxiety and depression.
How to use: Label dosages for B-complexes containing all B vitamins may vary. On average, dosages range from 300 milligrams (mg) to close to 500 mg. Either dose may be taken as one tablet per day.
3. Vitamin C
Antioxidants like vitamin C can help prevent oxidative damage in your nervous system. Oxidative damage can increase anxiety.
How to use: The average supplement dose ranges from 500 to 1000 mg. This may be split across two tablets or taken as a once-daily tablet.
4. Vitamin D
Vitamin D is an important nutrient that helps the body absorb other vitamins. Vitamin D deficiency can lead to other vitamin deficiencies, which may compound anxiety and make it worse.
How to use: The average supplement dose may range from 1,000 to 2,000 IU. Either dose may be split across multiple tablets or taken as a once-daily tablet.
5. Vitamin E
Vitamin E is another antioxidant. Your body uses this nutrient up quickly in times of stress and anxiety. Supplemental vitamin E may help restore this balance and reduce your symptoms.
How to use: The average supplement dose is around 400 IU, taken as a once-daily tablet.
6. Fish oil
Fish oil is high in omega-3 fatty acids, which are antioxidants. Omega-3 supplements like EPA and DHA have been shown to help reduce anxiety.
How to use: The average supplement dose may contain up to 2,000 mg of combined EPA, ALA, and DHA. Each dose may be split across multiple tablets or taken as a once-daily tablet.
7. GABA
Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GAMMA) is an amino acid and neurotransmitter in the brain.
When there’s not enough GABA, anxiety can worsen. According to a 2015 review, supplements with GABA may help replace lost GABA, though more research is needed.
How to use: The average supplement dose can range from 500 to 750 mg. Either dose may be split across multiple tablets or taken as a once-daily tablet.
8. L-theanine
L-theanine is an amino acid. It’s a soothing property found in green tea.
A 2018 study showed it had antianxiety benefits in rats. A 2011 human study vouched for its calming benefits, too.
How to use: The average supplement dose is around 200 mg. This is usually taken as a once-daily tablet.
9. Magnesium
Magnesium is a necessary mineral for human health. Your body doesn’t need too much of it. But if you aren’t getting enough, magnesium deficiency may lead to anxiety symptoms.
How to use: The average supplement dose may range from 100 to 500 mg. Either dose may be taken as a once-daily tablet.
10. 5-HTP
5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a neurotransmitter. It’s a precursor to serotonin. That’s the “happiness neurotransmitter” in the human brain.
A 2012 study found that 5-HTP supplements may help with anxiety. However, these are most effective only when used in certain therapies, and by recommendation from your doctor.
How to use: The average supplement dose may range from 50 to 200 mg. Either dose may be taken as a once-daily capsule.
