so, valerian seems to be garbage for taking the edge off my anxiety. kava-kava seems hideously unreliable; I've had good results from one or two commercial preparations but most make feel kinda weird and a little sick even. theanine has been recommended...is there anything else?
@kara_dreamer are you just trying herbal stuff or are you searching for anti-depressants?
@CarrierLost I'm considering just what I can get over-the-counter.
@kara_dreamer Ah. I can't help you much there. I've been using Remeron for depression and sleep. It's really helped for both but it makes you hungry constantly. That said, I don't feel so detached or down anymore so I'm kind of thankful for it.
@CarrierLost the current state of my mental health care is kind of a mess right now because my new job has made it almost impossible for me to get time slots to see anyone :/ still, if I ever get a chance, I'll consult about it
@kara_dreamer Sorry to hear that.
