I had anxiety just prior to starting Buhner's herbs. For those using this protocol can you tell me when your anxiety decreased and what herbs/protocol do you think helped to get it under control. I am just treating Lyme right now so I am not sure if the other untreated co-infections are contributing to this. I am trying to get some insight as what to expect from treatment. I hope I am making sense.

I am taking the Rawl's Vital Plan, which uses much of Buhner's thoughts and herbs. My anxiety is still here after slowly ramping up the dosage for three weeks, but it is better. Also not as "weepy." More head fog, but that could be a reaction to upping dosage.

Still have surges of anxiety every morning at 6:15 am. It's just not as intense.

Patty, I think this will be different for each one of us. It took me awhile to get to full dosage on the Buhner protocol. I was so intent on that and keeping a good detox schedule and eating well, that I did not mark down the anxiety diminishing.... sorry.

Just hang in there and don't give up.

Runningwd, what tinctures are you taking and what dosages are you up to? I'm glad you are finding some relief.

PeteZa, I am not giving up but I do find myself saying that I can't do this anymore. It's so hard. Thanks for cheering me on.

I found holy basil( Gaia brand: amazon ) helps mine. Two caps day/ night until under control then just at night.

I have been anxious and very irritable--before I began the herbs, though. However, ashwagandha, recommended by the B-man himself, has been a game changer. I feel like a different person. You may want to give it a try.

Lightlife, I take Source Naturals Theanine Serene which has Gaba, Taurine, Theanine, Holy Basil and Relora. Sometimes it is calming if the anxiety isn't through the roof. I am happy that you found something that helps with your anxiety. Take care.

Thanks. I also used ashwaganda before bed at a different time before when I had it and that worked then..... Fingers always crossed !!! I had a small flare a couple days ago but I upped holy basil.

Now I'm having mid day brain fog... argh!

LOL, Lightlife. Sounds like me, too.

Dogsblood, I will try the ashwagandha. Thanks.
