Has anyone else noticed that nbe herbs help with anxiety?

I think I may have mentioned that I noticed this in one of my first posts, and I am into week three of NBE, but I have had chronic problems with anxiety and immediately noticed upon starting NBE that my anxiety has been reduced drastically. I am truly shocked by this. I was on medications for the past 8 years and could have never tried NBE before because of the type of medication I was on. But now that I just take clonopine, I decided it would be safe to try. Well, I hardly ever need clonopine at all anymore and feel so much different, I am just completely shocked. It makes sense that balancing my hormones would have this sort of effect since anxiety drains the adrenal glands and creates imbalances, potentially causing a problem with excess angrogen. But still...the difference for me has been remarkable for me, so I was wondering if anyone else has shared a similar experience. I wish I had known about herbs years ago.

Yes, yes and yes. But watch out for some herbs. Hops can be somewhat depressive. Damiana can suppress progesterone which can then make PMS worse. I personally, never tolerate wild yam well, but I have no idea why.
Good luck growing!

Isn't it amazing!? I literally went from feeling like I was popping pills for my anxiety, to just starting my nbe program and feeling more alert, focused, calmer - just amazing! Thanks for pointing out your experience with other herbs. I'm not on any of those, but did just order Wild Yam, so I will try it, but use it with caution. Thanks for the advice!

I experienced the opposite. I fell into depression after taking herbs.

Fenugreek and fennel contain tryptophan, which is a serotonin precursor.
It also appears that fenugreek increases dopamine levels.

I had the opposite happen as well. They made me more anxious at first. Now they don't do one or the other.

I've felt amazing calm since I've been on NBE. The main herbs I take are fenugreek, hops and saw palmetto. As far as mood goes, taking these herbs has been a very positive experience.
