I've been asked to find herbal or homeopathic remedies to stop panic attacks. Any ideas where I can get hold of such medicine.

Umm Adam,

MashAllah you know of 5-HTP. Isnt this more for depression rather than anxiety, or is it good for both things? I bought some of it online from herbalremedies.com it is $24.95 per bottle (USD). Is the price comparable here?

I believe it is a Kiosk Type Store next to the Gondola Rides in Villagio if Im not mistaken.

Good luck!

Not much here in the way of homeopathics. One option besides the ones already mentioned, try 5-HTP. I have seen in several times in GNC (Villaggio and City Center), tho it is not always in stock.

Umibrahim, thanks for the info. Which part of Villagio is GNC in?

BTW you can buy camomile at the stall selling tea leaves at villagio (next to Carrefour).

Try Chamomile tea. It has a relaxing effect. You can find it in any supermarket. :-)

There is a GNC in Villagio mall. They have herbal supplements there. Valerian is a good choice, its the herb they make valium out of, totally safe unlike valium though and no known side effects if taken only two weeks at a time. That is one option. Another is chammomile which you can buy by the bulk but Im not sure where, chammomile known as " baboonaj " in arabic, is calming when taken everyday and is not as strong at the Valerian Root herb.

Do a google search on these herbs. But there is always the internet online and then Aramex shipping if all else fails.
