Does anyone know if there are any over the counter medictions that give instant anxiety relief? Someone i know is experiencing severe anxiety. They will probably ask their GP for something like sertraline which I've heard works well for anxiety, but I keep hearing horrendous stories of how rtough the first few weeks are. this person can't afford to get worse before they get better right now - they have just started a new dream job, in a new place with a problematic flatmate and landlord, as well as several other big pressures and commitments. They just need something to take the edge off the sickness and lack of sleep and social anxiety.
Do Kalms work? Or Rescue Remedy? Would an antihistamine work to help them sleep?
