I take atenolol/tenormin for high blood pressure--people have found it useful for panic attacks in social situations and anxiety. For some it is cheap and effective with minimal side effects.

Both Chamomile and Valerian Root are available in capsule form and both are good for anxiety. Chamomile is a bit milder, Valerian Root almost as strong a some pharmaceuticals.

You can also brew Chamomile in tea, but use 3-4 teabags per cup, to make it very strong. I've been told that's the equivalent of a Xanax, but having never taken Xanax, I can't verify that.

For chronic depression, Turmeric has been proven to be very effective - also available in capsule form.

If you have sleep issues, try Melatonin. It's available in several dosage strengths and works rather quickly.

All of these are natural and over-the-counter legal, available in virtually any vitamin section. No side effects (chamomile might give a touch of heartburn on an empty stomach, your mileage may vary).

Strattera helped me tremendously to think more clearly and orderly.

I need something that can work for autism, ocd, adhd, depression, and anxiety all at once. What I essentially need is a new brain.

I've been thinking of getting bqck on selegiline. It can be used for parkinsons disease & depression. Unfortunately if you use it for depression they want to force to use the emsam patch which is very expensive. The pill works great for me even at only 5mg for depression. Lots more energy as well as better thinking. Sleep still good when I was taking selegiline.

YMMV, but Strattera seemed to help me with all of those.
