[doctor_who]

I was talking to my friend today who suffers anxiety and depression and she told me it doent work but I got some today anyways...I just wanted to see if it worked..its called rescue remesy spray...I got it from hollands and barrats, she has used it before and she says it doesnt work but I only need it when I feel uncomfortable socializing..and have anxiety and being surrounded by people..what have peoples experience been with natural remedies like this and if not do you know of any medication that works that isnt anti depressants...going to the doctor or any counselling will be a last resort I really dont want that

 

[mismeek]

well if you dont want anti-depressants.. there are a few anti-convulsants that work pretty good too.

as for a spray. I've never heard of it. :/

Rescue Remedy possibly only has a placebo effect in reducing anxiety, but if that's the case and it works for you, then its worth using

Ive never heard of a spray for anxiety before.
Im gonna go google it

Yes absolutely rescue remedy can help, it is popular here in New Zealand, lately I have seen it on Dr Oz as well, it is available here in spray, drops or lozenges, the spray or drops is best I didn't find the lozenges that great. I carry a drink bottle with water or juice in it and drops added into that, I found it helped a bit. Worth a try.

Nothing but a placebo effect, according to Wikipedia.

Rescue Remedy seems to work for the dog

i doubt she has any idea whether it is a placebo or not

I wish I had a placebo I could believe in. :sad:

Rescue Remedy seems to work for the dog...

...perhaps the placebo effect has you believing the dog is benefiting

...perhaps the placebo effect has you believing the dog is benefiting

yes, that is possible

but she told me - and i quote- "woof" :idontknow:
