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.

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.

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!

L Theanine and magnesium glycinate help me so much!

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!

Stay hydrated with sea salt or redmonds salt, as well. I have discovered that my anxiety comes from needing hydration and salt to absorb

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.

Been taking ashwaganda for 2 years now and absolutely love it

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.

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.

"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.

I use,ashwaghanda for my bipolar and I am happy

I use magnesium citrate for constipation. Works wonders, naturally.

Magnesium citrate, ashwganda, gaba

I started taking a supplement that has Ashwagandha, magnesium citrate and zinc and I find it even more effective than Xanax! It’s incredible!

Ashwaganda Rocks!

Thanks, Dr., for not making anxious people and people helping anxious people chase this information all over the web .

🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 The best doctor ever!

We take GABA and Magnesium Citrate daily. Increase GABA dosage of a more stressful event.

all of these supplements, except for Gabba, I take in my smoothies. I especially looove magnesium at night for a restful sleep.

I love your program. I had the best day, I felt so happy because of the recommendations for depression and blood flow.

Love love love GABA and magnesium. Calms me down a few notches and even calms my breathing.

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 😢

Thank you Dr. Amen!

LOVE this doc isnt pushing drugs on us

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. 🙏

have L-Theanine and Magnesium, looking for GABA and Ashwaganda. Thank You ❤️

I need this doctor's help desperately. I have been looking for an answer since 1990

Thank you. ❤️

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.

Glycine is a power anti anxiety supplement

Hibiscus tea is a help as well. 2 cups a day is all you need

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.

Thank you! I have hyperthyroidism and Graves’ disease and these have come in handy when I feel too jittery or anxious. God bless!

Thank You so much.❤

Often its a good idea to accept that we have emotions..and working through those emotions is healthy!

Thank you ❤

Thank you❤

Awesome 👌 thanks for sharing ❤

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.

Thats a great psychiatrist right there 💯

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.

Thank you so much I just bought all of those

Ashwagandha really helps my son

Your the greatest

Great, but dosages?

Thanks so much for your great advices. 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you

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 ❤

Mil Gracias Doctor

Thank you for all your work

Amazing thank you for actually trying to help

Thank you Dr.

Thanks🕊

Any opinion on non fortified Nutritional Yeast?

Thank you!

Brilliant wisdom.

Thank you Doctor...

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!

Such gems 💎 Thank you 🙏🏾

So true doc. Thanks.

Thank you 🌻

Thanks Doc, I needed too see this today 🙏

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😊

Good to know!

thank you so much, you're a sweetheart.

Gaba is IT!! Love it

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.

Nothing works for me , my chronic anxiety is so high, its more like chronic terror. Ive tried pharmaceutical medication, counselling,every type of supplement, breathing, meditations, tapping, prayer, exercise. I even have experienced panic attacks while on strong opioid..the things that knock other people out have no effect on me and i havent got more than an hour or two sleep maximum, in years now. My whole digestive systems is painfully inflamed now and anything i eat including supplement capsules, are passed in the toilet intact and undigested in as fast as 20/30 minutes. Im so unwell i can't function. I cant go anywhere much because of such low physical energy,such high high anxiety, pain/ discomfort, poor cognitive functioning and most embarrassingly now- faecal incontinence. One of the worst things is being alone and without family/ friends understanding and support. Doctors have nothing to offer that helps ( GP sends me to psychiatric who only give antidepressants/antipsychotics which i have tried countless times and types but only left me worse)

It would be helpful my dear brother if you mention Ashwaganda and its possible side effects if you having thyroid gland issues

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.

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

Thank you❤LOVE💞

Do you sell a supplement with a combo of these? Or do I need to take them separately?

I take ashwaganda in the morning (10 days a month), relora in the afternoon and sometimes morning and gaba, magnesium and l-theanine at night.

Thank you! I actually heard "Theanine" earlier.❤️‍🔥

I switched from benzodiazepines to ginseng have helped very well

Magnesium citrate will explode your ass. Far better with Magnesium glycinate.

What would proper doses of Theanine and gabba look like?

Do you have a group therapy that you offer online?

I never seen so many people so depressed.

Where do you find these good quality supplements especially the magnesium as in most stores there is only oxide?

Mg Citrate is usually not recommended over MG glyconate from everything I've read.

Day 4 back on Ashwaganda ~ teeth not clenched so tight and feeling less anxious already. ✌️

How much ashwaganda MG should I use doc😢

Dr Amen: How much of these to use, please? And thank you 🙏

Magnesium glycinate or malate NOT citrate! Citrate works on the colon and can have a laxative effect even with small doses.

Dr Amen, which treatment (daily dosage) do you suggest for magnesium citrate?

L Theanine is really good. Every time after I took 200mg I feel much more relaxed and anxiety decreased

I take all of those but gaba. I need to get that too

How do you take Mag citrate without it being a colon prep??

What do you think about products like Remag: Pico-ionic liquid magnesium? Vs. Citrate or glycine capsules? Thank you!!!

I take magnesium glycinate and vitamin D3 for OCD. Can these supplements help?

I like them, use them. Also lemon balm tincture by Vimergy works for me

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.

What about magnesium threonate ? Is it better for adhd ?

Can you take these supplements if you are on Paroxetine?

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)

My new Thomas Szasz ... Fish oil great too. 😊

Also Saffron is great
