EDIT: In my stoned attempt to add to the conversation it could appearthat I’m suggesting Calmaid for benzo withdrawal. I am not. I was saying that it had good results for some extreme anxiety. I am suggesting that it be used instead of benzo’s for some people. Such as my son and myself.
Original post:
I know of another option. My son has social anxiety and gets panic attacks. He isn’t fond of pills. So his psychiatrist suggested Calmaid. It’s lavender.
Hang on. I hear ya loud and clear. How could lavender really help.
Well it’s effects have been compared to klonapin.
I was in Walmart a few months ago on a Saturday with hubby. It was crowded af as usual. I was done in my head. I sent him down an aisle and I leaned up against a meat cooler and waited. I felt funny. So I started paying attention to my body. My heart was a little faster, breathing was kinda quick and shallow. Holy fuck. I think this is a panic attack. Quickly flipped into let’s calm the fuck down mode. Started deep breathing in through the nose out the mouth. In no time I was able to continue shopping. I think that if I had still been walking around I wouldn’t of noticed my panic attack.
My point. This stuff really does work for anxiety.
I’ve had a couple of really bad days where I took my normal one in the morning and then one later when more shit hit the fan. I’m posting a pic so you can see what it is and see how many I’ve bought.
I also take magnesium and calcium. 800mg mag 600mg cal twice a day.
