Are there any over the counter medicine or herbs that can be used to help anxiety and depression? I'm broke!



I have bad road rage and anxiety attacks, what is a cheap way to help?? ...besides alcohol or drugs :)

You could try St. john's wort, and pay about 20 dollars a bottle and deal with the sun sensitivety and interference with birth control, or you could do like me and print off walmarts list of of generic prescription antidepressant and anxiety drugs that cost 4 dollars a month even with no insurance, bring it to your doctor and pay him a one time fee of around 70 dollars and save alot more money and get alot more effective of a treatment than you would with stupid ineffective over the counter crap.

St. John's Wart is said to have an effect on depression, though the research backing is split. Your best bet is going to be to locate a university or mental health facility near you that trains graduate students. Here, you will receive treatment free of charge as part of the grad student's training experience. Seek individuals performing Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for panic disorder and depression, as well as the road rage. Good luck!
Valerian is an herb they actually took valium from. If taken consistently it will help have a calming affect. There are many combinations in Health Food Stores specifically for mood enhancement and feelings of well being. Rhodiola has been proven to help boost the seratonin in the brain which causes depression and anxiey. A good combination of B vitamins will help the nervous system geatly. Need to take them consistently for a length of time. Are your hormones normal. Much Anxiety is caused from too much or too little in this area of the body.
I would call your local pharmacy and ask them...I know there's alot of herbs that people have suggested on this site....st john's wart is one of them......or look up a web site for natural medicine/anxiety........

best of luck.......
Medication is your best bet. If you will get a prescription and then contact the manufactuers of those drugs, they will give you free meds, especially if you are broke.
i know it's hard to do when ur depressed, but if u walk for 30 minutes, u will release endorphins naturally and not have to take meds. don't watch/read anything that makes u feel bad. watch/read something funny.

road rage... ur angry and u need counseling. pills won't fix that.

i'm sorry u feel bad, please reach out to a trusted friend or family member and tell them u need help. sometimes we need people to "carry" us through the rough times.

hang in there, it will get better, i promise.
