ssris are often used to treat anxiety alone in the uk.

i personally found that aswagandha helped a lot in reducing my anxiety enough to start to handle it. it also totally destroyed my motovation to do anything (i took too much too often for too long). now i take 500mg ever 2-3 days but i started on 500mg a day.

I've found the same thing with all anti-anxiety supplements (ashgawandha, rhodiola, bacopa). I don't have serious anxiety problems but do have ADHD and thought they might help with the stimulant side effects - instead I just lose all motivation.

Theanine + coffee does work for me though.
