Guest guest Posted December 1, 2010 Report Share Posted December 1, 2010 Hi there, Have you ever tried Valerian Root? Not to be confused with Valium! They just sound the same. It smells like old dirty gym socks but it works on slightly calming anxiety. I've found the best version to be the Liquid drops, a eyedropper full in a tiny bit of water followed by a 1/2 glass of water to wash it down. And the liquid extract doesn't seem to smell like the capsules. My 13 yr old son also experiences anxiety. He's learnd to live with the daily anxiety but for extreme stressful situations (like our trip to Disneyland) he takes a low dose of generic Atarax Hydroxyzine) this isn't what it was made for but it works, it's in the same family as Benedryl. Here's the definition of Hydroxyzine: it is used to relieve the itching caused by allergies and to control the nausea and vomiting caused by various conditions, including motion sickness. It is also used for anxiety and to treat the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal Good luck with your search, > > Hi, my 11-year-old son with PDD-NOS has been having a lot of anxiety lately. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for natural supplements I could give him to help him calm down. > Thanks! > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
