    I take multivitamin plus and extra magnesium tablet . I'm not sure if they definitely help , but when I was pregnant they definitely helped with my anxiety. so its maybe worth a try?

    i find vitamin supplements about as useful as meditation for controling anxiety. It works for some people with mild anxiety symptoms but its not going to stop extreme anxiety and panic attacks. I mean, if it works for you, go for it, but i will never recommend it to someone going through a full blown anxiety episode. I think there are different levels of anxiety, and the kind of anxiety i have, no vitamin is going to fix. People who experience my type of anxiety dont want vitamins and a month to get it in their system and may or may not work, they want fast relief because they would rather kill themselves than put up with another minute of their panic.

      yes, i understand. i just prefer to live my life without dwelling on my anxiety. i take my pills and forget about it. i am not about taking any more time out of my day to try meditation (which never worked for me or Raki for that matter) or vitamins that may or may not work. i spend enough money on my anxiety meds without adding to the bill for something that is not proven effective. but thats me. i chose not to coddle my anxiety, just take my pills, control it enough to live my life without worry.

      What am i praying for ? my anxiety to go away? well that doesnt work either, trust me on that. I am proactive in that i chose the safest and most effective way to control my anxiety and I seem to manage it just fine. I do believe in God, and he made me special, to have anxiety and to come to this forum to help others to find relief.
