my waking issues were solved by treating my adrenals (another current thread here).
However, I was also trying to curb anxiety while getting off pharmaceutical antidepressants and then Lyme, so Im on a GABA supplement called StressArrest, recommended by my ND. You cannot get it in stores, you have to get it from a practitioner, or online.
It's hard to say whether it helps immensely (edit- hard to say as far as anxiety goes; i am sleeping and waking well) because Lyme messes everything up. I'm not terrible.
And as I launched my soliloquy on the adrenal thread, I highly recommend treating all of these with guidance from a doctor, naturopath, or other professional practitioner. Only they can run the tests, decide the right dosage, combination, and tell you what's too much, too little, or wrong for your treatment plan. In fact, I do not recommend this supplement AT ALL unless you see a professional. Especially since I'm taking it in combination with 5-htp (another carefully monitored recommended dose) and my last pharmaceutical hurdle, Wellbutrin.
