I'm always on the search for a non benzo's for anxiety. Kratom has worked well in higher doses and I've tried some Kava, but am going to try some liquid extract to get the real experience. Also Valerian extract and combining the two. I've tried Valerian years ago and damn that stuff stinks, plus it didn't do anything for me. A concentrated liquid extract might work. I also have OTC Gaba, taurine, L-theanine and phenibut. I unfortunately haven't been disciplined enough to take them in a more scientific/experimental doses. I have found that Benadryl (Diphenhydramine), generic of course, works great for insomnia. It's the exact ingredient in Sominex. I recently picked up a box (24ct) at my local 99cent store for...99cents. When I take a break from my anxiety meds I tend to have insomnia. I'm also looking at med MJ, which is legal in my state. Decades ago as a teen I used it, mostly out of peer pressure, but it really gave me panic attacks and anxiety. It was probably Sativa, but back then MJ was just MJ and nobody ever talked about THC vs CBD. So I might try a Indica with very low THC levels, it could reduce my anxiety issues. I have a $60....coupon, sitting in front of me, for new patients from a local Med MJ clinic. For those of us that are older, who would of thought we would be getting coupons in the mail for MJ. Of course, everything in moderation, regardless of it being OTC, herbal, prescription, RC or dietary supplements.

One thing I forgot to mention was Melatonin. It works well for some, but it gave me terrible nightmares. Maybe a fractional dose could work.
