Not sure about Herbs, but... The Rx blood pressure medication - Propranolol - IS often prescribed for Anxiety. Mild, low-dose, short term, med that blocks anxiety - For a couple hours, when you anticipate a stressful "event" like Public Speaking for example. :geek:

Benzo's... Xanax also works in low dose, but it's not for everyone. But definitely works. Aprazolam. More difficult to get, compared to Propranolol.

I have some lemon balm drops, and also valerian on the advice of a friend, but the anxiety I was having went away right after I bought them so I haven't used them yet.

L-theanine is pretty good. It creates a sense of calm, but also might make you drowsy. Still though, it's great for relaxing. It's an amino acid (and also reduces kratom tolerance as a bonus!).
