I was put on buspar at one point. Unfortunately it made me physically sick. I'll look into valerian. I bought it one time, but never tried it. I'll try it now though.

I find it interesting how when you have severe anxiety, it seems like you're supposed to just think and breathe your way out of it, and doctors don't take it seriously, but no one is telling a depressed person to just think their way out of depression. Just an observation.
