Re: insomnia

I would check with your doctor before mixing them. Sometimes "herbals" or "supplements" can't be taken with prescription or any other drugs. I too had issues not being able to get to sleep and then if I got to sleep I couldn't stay asleep. I can't take any medications and the over the counter sleep ...

Re: ANYONE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH RENEW

I'm not a doctor either but I've had leg cramps and usually its because of lack of Vitamin D. Try stretching before you go to sleep. You could even use a little Aspercreme which might help until you get to the doctor. I would try and get an earlier appointment. Thanks for telling me about vitamin D...

Re: Antidepressant side effects

I have tried all the anxiety meds and I'm either allergic or can't tolerate them so I've not taken anything for my anxiety for about 7 years now. I just have to deal with it. Doesn't mean you are the same. I do agree with "sowhatif" - have to find the issue and not cover it up. Be careful of holisti...

Re: Xanax Alternatives????

Never heard of alternatives either. I can't tolerate any meds and they've put me on all of them. I just have to find other ways of dealing with anxiety. Good Luck.

Re: step 5 and stopping

Don't stop!!! I have had IBS, Anxiety, Panic for 20 years and I can tell you that trying to not think about it, trying to be stress free or relaxing doesn't make it go away!!! I've tried for 20 years!! This is helping me. I don't do everything all at one time. I go at my own pace. Believe it or not,...

Re: hello does anyone fill like there is not a lot of suppor

I can drive- in fact I don't allow anyone to drive for me because if I start getting the diarrhea feeling (I have IBS) I won't get home in time. I feel I have to be in control. I don't travel because of my IBS. I don't travel because of IBS. I've been suffering with IBS, Anxiety and Panic for 20 yea...

Re: Using probiotics to ease IBS symptoms

I'm very sensitive and my body can't tolerate a lot of things. I do a lot of research. I think certain things work for certain people its a matter of finding what works for you. I tried Align and I didn't notice any difference. I have tried quite a few things and the ONLY one I have found that works...

Re: stomach spasms

I was getting treatment from a holistic quack who gave me a whole bunch of things like vitamins, "tonics" etc., despite me telling him that I am lactose/lactaid intolerant. I believe that all the things he gave me and me having such a sensitive system caused more issues. Not only did I get extremely...
