Taurine, l theanine, agmatine, and magnesium glycinate saved my life. Along with yoga, meditation, walking and breathwork. Autism, adhd, addiction, anxiety, depression, trauma.
Healing is possible. You just gotta find what works for you. It is out there tho. Everyone can heal. No one is doomed. The journey is long and hard, but it's worth it. Keep going.
Thank you costaldevomito. ❤️
You are autistic yet you went through natural route which is hard and slow instead of quick fixes like Benzos. I wish your recovery is permanent.
@costaldevomito How much do you take of each?
@@Crystal-qg4rd 2 grams of agmatine and 3 grams of taurine
Did you have family support and money?
it is great to hear a psychiatrist talk about supplements in place of benzodiazepine and I too had the same result after correcting vitamin D and magnesium. Thank you Sir.
USA psychriatists are not like Indian Doctors...
I am a doctor and benzos are misused by a lot of doctors (non-psychiatrists). Even older psychiatrists not up to date with modern guidelines.
Tried all of those and none of them make me feel relaxed. When you're having a panic attack, those supplements will not do anything. But thanks for suggesting these for people.
Stay hydrated with sea salt or redmonds salt, as well. I have discovered that my anxiety comes from needing hydration and salt to absorb
how are u now? did this help with ur anxiety?
L Theanine and magnesium glycinate help me so much!
Same! I take L-theanine in the morning with coffee and magnesium glycinate before bed. Love them! I recently started taking krill oil in the middle of the day and like it so far.
It has helped me as well.
@@cristiestandingbear2510. how much lmtheanine do you take ?
@@cristiestandingbear2510 please don’t take krill leave it for the whales.
Did the magnesium help you sleep?
I’ve been taking ashwaganda and Bacopa for over 10 years! I am 63, I take bow alsi take and L Thanine and GABA. For a couple of months, these two are a good addition to the 20 other supplements I take most days. At 63 I always shock people when I tell them my age 😂 supplements are the golden ticket to aging well and feeling great!
L-Theanine for a home run . . .
Would you please share the 20 supplements you take? Wow!
Yes please
I was having terrible morning anxiety again, about 4 moths ago. 😢I was so nervous because I’m trying to live healthier and I didn’t wanted to go to a psychiatrist to get a prescription. I’m a believer and asked God the Father to help me. I started researching and found out the profound importance of magnesium glycinate and vitamin D. After taking then for a while my life has changed for the better. No more hand shaking or sweating or stomach nervousness. Please try always natural foods, self care and great supplements. I used pure encapsulations brand bc is very important to know some supplements are not that great. Choose the best for your body you deserve the best ❤ keep moving and eat well too. I cut off fast food as well. Ps: forgot to mention I also took l-theanine for a while at night. Also remove from your life the people that are toxic and don’t want to respect your boundaries 😊 please don’t take gaba or ashawanda for too long. If you do this may create issues research well or talk to a specialist.
TIP: Adaptogens like Ashwaghanda, mushrooms, ginsengs, etc. typically do not need to be taken for long periods; once they reset your imbalances (often within days/weeks) you stop taking it! Adaptogens are not meant for daily use long term!
Ashwaganda gives me the worst brain fog and utter exhaustion imaginable. I literally had a static buzzing sound in my brain while taking it. Never again.
@@theynot4u sounds like you took way too high a dose(s) and/or for too long.
@@theynot4uit’s truly just like that
Interesting to note, thankyou for sharing!
I have used ashwaghanda for almost 5 years. I tolerate it very well. I get blood tests done every year. Everything is fine. You can use it long term with No problem.
I found a liquid magnesium glycinate on Amazon that also has GABA and theanine in it. It's my savior when my nerves are fried.
Thanks, Dr., for not making anxious people and people helping anxious people chase this information all over the web .
Magnesium citrate, ashwganda, gaba
Been taking ashwaganda for 2 years now and absolutely love it
Still taking it? What form would you recommend such as powder or pill etc?
@@getwell587 yep. Pill. Ksm 66 patented ashwaganda. Nootropics depot
I tried but doesn’t have any effect on me, which one are u use?!
@@getwell587I've been taking 500mg powdered Ashwagandha root (not extract) capsules everyday for the last 6 weeks, for me it's working better than any anxiety medication that I've ever been on, my anxiety level is now lower than it has been in years as far as I'm concerned I'm now just feeling occasional normal levels of anxiety for valid reasons not the constant debilitating anxiety about everything and nothing that I was feeling for as long as I can remember, I'm actually a happy person again finally.
I was taking two capsules a day one when I get up and one before bed but for the last two weeks I've dropped that to just taking one at night.
The overall anxiety relief wasn't instant it took two to three weeks of taking ashwagandha before my anxiety levels started getting less, but I noticed from day one of taking it that I was sleeping way better at night.
Do you cycle the ashwagandha? Like 2 months on and 1 month off? I read continuous use will make it lose it's potency.
I use,ashwaghanda for my bipolar and I am happy
How often do you take it!?
@@getwell587 I take one before breakfast and one before dinner. I take 1500 mg of extract in these 2 capsules. I have a great life now. I have been happy and stable for a year now.
Amen
@@getwell587 1 before breakfast and 1 before dinner every day.
Magnesium glycinate HANDS DOWN THE BEST version!!! With the others mentioned yes!!! Makes you feel great! Add vit d and c and you're set!
Medicaid pays for Benzodiazepines sadly not for supplements. Poverty is very anti health. Cheap food is not healthy. I’ve suffered from severe depression and anxiety for 21years. Now it’s worse do to age and economic conditions.
I get mine they Amazon alot cheaper but I do know what u mean...
considering the outstanding, difficult predicament of being human beings, depression and anxiety must be on the " "appropriate emotional diatribe list (somewhere, sometimes). God have mercy on us.
Food "poducts" are not cheap or healthy; but many real whole foods are both very cheap and healthy too! Buy the basics, eggs, beans, root vegies (onions, garlic, potatoes, yams, celery, carrots, etc), cruciferous (cabbage, broc, cauliflower, etc) local seasonal greens, veggies and fruits (avocados, lemons, apple, banana, pears, peppers, tomatoes), and whole grains (oats, brown rice, barley, etc), seeds (chia, flax, sunflower)...
Learn to cook "root to stem", tjen make broths, sauces, marinades and juices from the trimmings (cuts, bones, and rendered fats/oils). A few mixed spices go along way: Herbs d Provance, Italian spice, Chinese 5 spice, Cajun spice, Jamaican jerk, Greek, Harissa (African), Curry....
@@Kay.in.FL.HI.SA.JP.OZ.NZ.RIO..don't start preaching to people like that. They're not stupid just broke. Shopping on a budget is nothing like going without due to poverty.
You're ignorance is astounding.
@@Kay.in.FL.HI.SA.JP.OZ.NZ.RIO..fantastic healthy list, especially for those on a budget
I use magnesium citrate for constipation.
Works wonders, naturally.
Really? Wou I need this😮
Mag. Oxide works great for constipation.
@@ViralVibes_01 Try this: Drink 2 liters of water daily (yes, only water, and without bubbling), eat sugar (and everything that contains sugar which includes fruit) only on two days of the week, don't eat processed food (the only processed food you can eat is cheese, but the real one without colorants and preservatives or melting agents, and you can eat heavy cream and milk), eat at least 400 grams of vegetables, only eat whole grain bread, best is sourdough, and go for a walk for at least 20 minutes every day. Use spices and herbs as you like, best is organic food. If this doesn't help, ask me for more tips.
Does absolutely nothing for me & I take 3 going to bed with zinc. 🤔🤔
I found it is hit or miss with some of these. Meaning Theanine and melatonin work great for me, but not my daughter who has ADHD, she reacts better to GABA and ashagawanda and CBD. I think we are all different and you have to find out which one works better for you😊
Magnesium glycinate helps with rest and sleep at night for me. Fibromyalgia causes my muscles to tense from chronic pain. Magnesium glycinate relaxes my muscles and promotes overall relaxation.
How many days to see the effect?
Do you avoid all oxalates too?
Ashwaganda Rocks!
I started taking a supplement that has Ashwagandha, magnesium citrate and zinc and I find it even more effective than Xanax! It’s incredible!
What's it called?
@@samjay4107 i get it in Ireland. It’s called One Nutrition, KSM-66
What supplement is this??
Hellooooo
Love love love GABA and magnesium. Calms me down a few notches and even calms my breathing.
As someone in recovery from substances, I love this doctor and I love that he recommends supplements instead of benzos because I nearly died from withdrawal from them. 🙏
YESSSS this combination is Amazing and has helped me get off a daily dose of 3 mlg of clonopin a day to just these supplements and PLEASE 🥺 ❤TAKE THESE FIRST AS WEENING OFF BENZOS HAS BEEN SO UNBELIEVABLY HARD AND HAS PERMANENTLY ALTERED MY BRAIN CHEMISTRY 😢
How long did you take the klonopin for...??
@@crystalcastro1490 I’m actually glad you asked bc it has been hell and ANY info or help was everything, so I was on 3 mlgs of clonopin for 12 years and now I’m down to 1 mlg but I also was prescribed 2 mlg of Xanax a day at the same time for daily panic attacks so weening off was absolute hell and honestly shouldn’t not be done without medical assistance, please ask anything if I can help I will ❤️
I love your program. I had the best day, I felt so happy because of the recommendations for depression and blood flow.
I take magnesium before bed and it helps me sleep better and all the stress calms down. Thinking of adding gaba. I really don’t want to go back on benzo was on it for over a decade. Don’t want any ssri either. Looking for a more natural way this time around. Along with cbt therapy.
You'll love GABA. I've been taking it for 20 years and it's a miracle supplement.
GABA should only be taking sporadically or under the supervision of a doctor. Do some research before 😊
all of these supplements, except for Gabba, I take in my smoothies. I especially looove magnesium at night for a restful sleep.
I take magnesium and theanine before bed :)
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 The best doctor ever!
Often its a good idea to accept that we have emotions..and working through those emotions is healthy!
Sounds great, also just do relaxing things & avoid things outside your preference. Go for your specifics goals that are neglected. Bit by bit. We all personally know what contributed to our anxiety. We ain’t living /thinking ideally. Things have unintended consequences. We are all a bit of discipline away from our better selves.
I want two of everything he's on... he's got the culty come follow me to heavens valley vibe ...😂😅😊 i want to feel better too
Lol
Thank you Dr. Amen!
LOVE this doc isnt pushing drugs on us
Thats a great psychiatrist right there 💯
"non anemic iron deficiency" (look up) can also cause anxiety, depression, EXHAUSTION, heart papultatins, mood issues, sleep issues, weight gain or weight loss, sleep issues, bags under the eyes etc etc a longgg list. Iron deficiency is the #1 deficiency in the world. Over 1.8 BIllion are iron deficienct dispite their regular iron test shows "nomal range". You must take a "Ferritin iron test" and other iron deficiency advance test to see if you have an iron deficiency. Get tested. this is ALWAYS overlooked by doctors.
This information is very much appreciated ❤
Not so for men. In men..TOO MUCH IRON can kill them and is an epidemic.
THIS 👏👏👏 demand a ferritin test. After complaining of all these symptoms for years I finally went and ordered a ferritin test for myself from quest diagnostics (they are not that expensive). Ferritin level was 10. Optimal levels start at least a 70. Finally my doctor came around and looked at other numbers, turns out it is iron deficiency anemia after all. To everyone out there that has given up hope, take your health into your hands and demand answers. They have all kinds of tests available for self order.
@@beccaseward Thank you for posting your iron deficiency story. Im glad you found the truth to get your health back. Take care.
I have anemia deficiency. What iron supplements you suggest?
We take GABA and Magnesium Citrate daily. Increase GABA dosage of a more stressful event.
GABA as as far as I know is not a supplement. But a neurotransmitter itself that is related to anxiety. Is there a supplement as well with the same name? If there's then can you point me to them?
I didn't know that was an available supplement
It doesn't cross the blood brain barrier. So it would not work at all.
GABA dosage? Have any links?
@@getwell587 The supplement doesn't work for anxiety. GABA cannot cross the blood brain barrier, if it did then I would have felt some amount of relief. This doctor is a charlatan. He has all sorts of unproven "supplements for anxiety, panic attacks, and Depression.

Ashwagandha really helps my son
Lemon Balm but avoid if you have thyroid disease.
I need this doctor's help desperately. I have been looking for an answer since 1990
Great advice! Valium & zanex just makes you rely on them, get hooked and then are worse off - it’s just a crappy band aid. Love these natural recommendations ❤
have L-Theanine and Magnesium, looking for GABA and Ashwaganda. Thank You ❤️
Amazon
Marshall’s dept stores sells bags of Ashawaganda
@@hawaiigirl8089 why is this weird to me 😅
You don’t need GABA because ltheanine is a precursor for it . Taking to much gaba may tell your body to not produce any more and this will bring other problems. While is good to take supplements always check long term effects. Magnesium glycinate and l theanine are safer . GABA just once in a while if that. I would look on got or good how to produce gaba naturally instead 😊
I never tried l-Theanine hope it help with the sleep wich I really struggle now.
Saffron is amazing so is ghost pipe tincture
Thank you for all your work
Any opinion on non fortified Nutritional Yeast?
Thank you! I have hyperthyroidism and Graves’ disease and these have come in handy when I feel too jittery or anxious. God bless!
Beware of ashwagandha if you have any thyroid or autoimmune disorder. Please do your own research too.
Hibiscus tea is a help as well. 2 cups a day is all you need
Is it good for a person that's diagnosed with bipolar. From South Africa
@@kathychinsamy2157 yes, dear. It is a reliever of mind. If you have access to a library or computer, research the benefits of different teas for their different benefits. I use White, Oolong, Mulberry, Green, Chaga mushroom, turmeric, ginger as well as the Hibiscus tea. I sweeten it naturally, usually honey. Honey also has good health benefits. I hope this helps. The saying " It takes a village" is my outlook and mission to helping people naturally. Blessings
That tea is good for high blood pressure too.
Thank you. ❤️
Thanks🕊
L-lysine and 5-HTP in conjunction have significant effects on serotonin.
Thank you 🌻
Thank You so much.❤
Brilliant wisdom.
I take all of these plus some others my anxiety still out of control. Maybe its not anxiety? I honestly dont know at this point i just know i cant commit to anything. Hanging out with friends, going to an appointment or grocery store. A lot of times when i do commit to something like a dr appointment. Ill cancel last minute or ill just go ghost. And i ignore everyone who reaches out.
Taurine, cod liver oil
Great, but dosages?
Glycine is a power anti anxiety supplement
Thanks Doc, I needed too see this today 🙏
Thank you ❤
Mg Citrate is usually not recommended over MG glyconate from everything I've read.
Gaba is IT!! Love it
L Theanine is really good. Every time after I took 200mg I feel much more relaxed and anxiety decreased
Thank you Dr.
Such gems 💎 Thank you 🙏🏾
Amazing thank you for actually trying to help
Also Melissa lemon balm
Mil Gracias Doctor
Try valariana oficinialis
Also Saffron is great
Thank you!
Dr Amen, which treatment (daily dosage) do you suggest for magnesium citrate?
Thank you so much I just bought all of those
Where did u buy them??
So true doc. Thanks.
Thank you Dr. Amen for providing us with better alternatives for this condition. Many of us are having neurological disorders now more them ever.
I take Ashwaganda and B-complex along with a super vitamin for women. I'll have to try Gaba too. Menopause can enhance this problem too. That's another subject matter.
Awesome 👌 thanks for sharing ❤
My doctor told me not to use a GABA supplement because she said it was hard on your liver.
Thank you❤
Ashwaganda has side effects too if used for long time. Withdrawal issues. Best to take one box and then take a break of couple of months, and or take one day one, two days off after that initial box
It would be helpful my dear brother if you mention Ashwaganda and its possible side effects if you having thyroid gland issues
Aswagandha is natural and pure any product which are plant based have majorly no side effects you can have aswagandha 2 table spoon in morning with hot milk
But takes awhile to work if really anxious and depressed! Magnesium in correct form a must for everyone. Sooner you start taking the better u will feel and sleep.
How long until you start seeing results?
Thank you
I get anxiety when I walk into my house , I’m fine most everywhere, sometimes. My lab results just came back and I have low creatine.
Love you and what you have to say. But you are sooo hard to hear? 🤔 grateful you add the text! Without it I'd be lost. But would still live to hear your voice (words)
Your the greatest
L Theanine makes me so angry and act out really bad. I use CBD oil and exercise. CBT works great as well flipping the script in my head. I love Mag. and Asr.hwaganda. Your a terrific Dr.
What about magnesium threonate ? Is it better for adhd ?
I've heard it's good for your brain
Day 4 back on Ashwaganda ~ teeth not clenched so tight and feeling less anxious already.
✌️
Theanine magnesium magnesium citrine, ashwagandha
Thank you Doctor...
I just got my magnesium glucinate today
I take all of those but gaba. I need to get that too
Thank you! I actually heard "Theanine" earlier.❤️🔥
Which brand for ashwanda?
My daughter in law mixes 8 essential oils & calls it liquid zanix & it is amazing
I take all except GABA. LEMON Balm is good too.
Yes, I take Lemon Balm mid afternoon.
how long is L-theanine working?
Passion Flower.
Holy basil is amazing
Kava Kava Root is amazing for depression
10,00piu Vit D3 daily, more in winter, really great for depression, Remag magnesium is a miracle !
Doc I have had amazing results with anxiety using lavender. A product called Calm. I don’t know why it helps but it is acute and calms me down big time.
Thank you❤LOVE💞
