[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 437601, member: 2211"] I agree with Lisa, you're doing all you can with-o medications. It would be good to at least have them on hand should you become so overwhelmed, you can take them.Natural supplements include the Kava Kava, as mentioned...it's worth noting that you need to take a lot for decent period of time before there are adverse effects on the liver. Another successful supplement is Valerian Root and even St. Johnswort. You can try chamomile tea, or look for specifically for a tea that helps soothe the nerves at the health food store-they often combine the kava kava, chamomile, and valerian among other things.Adding a yoga class may be beneficial as it will teach you deep slow breathing techniques that automatically calm and reduce anxiety.And lastly, is there any way for you to schedule time to 'unplug'? You know, turn off phones,computers, don't take calls or check emails, etc? Unplugging is a great way to reduce anxiety. If you can't completely unplug, can you allocate times, such as after 4pm, no more phones or computer...that will give you a few hours before bed to unwind from it all and perhaps relax.
