Hi, I'm new to this site but not widowhood. My husband passed away 8 years ago. I'm currently experiencing more anxiety and depression than ever before. My dr prescribed effexor which I had a very scary bad reaction to over the weekend. Serious heart pounding during the night for hours. Also had some other scary symptoms which makes me never want to take that med again. I'd like to maybe try an herbal supplement. I really feel that the extra anxiety is not just what is going on in my life but also some chemical/ hormonal changes maybe due to menopause. Maybe tmi for a first time poster but I'd really like any advise I can get. Does anyone have any recommendations for natural supplements for anxiety and depression?
