Is there anything I can take to help stress?

I don't want to sound lame I'm just really busy at work after the other guy in my dept was made redundant so I'm literally doing 2 full time people's jobs. Which is fine-I can do it but it's just so much and I know I'm getting stressed, I have physical signs, even tough I actually feel quite happy.

Things like stiff neck/shoulders, headaches, sleepless nights, spots, etc etc.
I've just been told that I'm going to have alot more work as of next month so I was wondering if there is anything I could take before I flip out and go crazy!

Thanks

diazepam or lorazepam or any benzodiazepine if your doctor will give them to you there addictive though so tou can only use them short term until tou relieve your stressess if not magniesium relaxes your muscles therfoere reducing stress or you can buy things like calms from over the counter to and drops or sprays that go under your tongue try yoga thats very good at reiieving stress or meditation you would have to research that though coz i couldn't do it (find a happy place in your mind thats what they say) all i got was awful mental pictures of an ex lol good luck hope tou find something that helps xxx

You should consider a visit to your GP to discuss this but if you want to consider natural options first, try camomile tea, Lavender Oil on pillows in baths etc, Argent Nitrate is good homoeopathic remedy for stress and "Kalms" herbal tablets may also help. Don't let it get out of control as it could run the risk of making you depressed. Good luck and try to relax when you can mate!

p.s. A good massage or some acupuncture might also be helpful options.

Take a B vitamin complex...

...and something containing 5HTP at bedtime (a natural sleep aid you can find at the local pharmacy) 5HTP does wonders to balance you out mentally and you could use a good rest with the sleep aid. It does such a wonderful job, you'll probably only need it for a short time before you feel normal again. :)

Feel better. :)

Fruits like apples and bananas have natural stress relievers in them. Also, drinking more water helps relieve stress, plus it's good for you.

theres something you can smoke called weed but thats not alloud so try drinking that always works for me

A holiday. Exercise.

Sex! Seriously, it's the greatest stress reliever ever.

go to a docter and get some ativan or xanax.

1) Take a Daily Multi-vitamin
2) Watch your diet...make sure you're eating lots of veggies and fiber. Reduce your sugars intake.
3) Reduce your caffeine intake
4)Exercise - nothing kills stress quite like exercise.


These 4 things are a SOLID foundation to the reduction of stress. Sure xanax can calm you down but it will only mask it not solve it.

If you're already doing the 4 above then see your doctor about getting a script for some anxiety meds such as xanax, valium or buspar. This should be a last resort as benzodiazipenes have strong addictive properties.
