Anti-anxiety/panic Attack Potion? Options

Hey.. again, i feel like ive been posting a lot lately, but thats what happens when your a beginner right? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/harhar1.gif)

Anyway, I have a couple of friends who have been feeling VERY stressed lately, one has been having panic attacks and the other anxiety attacks. Is there a potion I can make to help them? (please no alcohol, as they are both underage lol)

i have acute 'anxiety disorder', and have had it for years - alcohol is a nasty depressant so it makes everything worse - st johnswort can cause fibromyalgia symptoms, and valerian can interfere with other meds, especially ritalin in kids - skullcap (probably chinese skullcap) is a poison that flushes the liver of sugar and can be very dangerous for diabetics

herbs are medicines, so treat them as such and rx'ing blindly without consulting the patient is always asking for trouble - just be careful - if you would try a patient on a particular herbal supplement, be sure to try them on a very tiny dose first to see if they have side effects (not sideeffects of the drug, but them - different people have different reactions to the same thing, and can have an allergic response to anything)

i almost agree with the codex alimentarius on this issue, and think that those pushing herbal drugs as 'safe supplements' need better training before our herbs are all taken away from us by the fda, due to loose use by a few

its probably just the full moon energy anyway, and that can easily mimic anxiety and cause major stress, especially if they are ignoring it
