Good morning everyone. I'm looking for some suggestions on something to try from ND to help decrease anxiety and irritability issues. I plan on doing some lab testing (for at least hormone levels) once I get things approved through insurance. In the meantime, I'm looking for something to help with those issues (baby arriving soon and something to keep anxiety/irritability down while I'm sleep deprived would be very beneficial). Below is a list of things I've tried from ND already:
Bacopa (synapsa and bacognize) - brain fog and anxiety
Ashwagandha (ksm-66 and sensoril) - anxiety with ksm-66; slight calming with sensoril at doses of 125-250 mg (not sure if going higher with dosing would be an issue as I have a low TSH of 0.5 and worry a out hyperthyroid issues)
Curcumin (longvida) - anxiety
Aniracetam - brain fog and anxiety
Phenylpiracetam - slight brain fog and really sleepy at doses between 50 mg and 200 mg (lethargy increases with dose)
Lemon Balm (ND extract and Cyracos) - anxiety with Cyracos; brain fog and lethargy with ND extract...doesn't seem to help anxiety either
Agmatine - severe anxiety/anger at doses between 250 mg and 2 g
Choline - all forms help anxiety…

It’s a fantastic plant! I started researching baicalin, which led me to oroxylin A. I want to get my hands on the latter, and I’m very impressed with the former.
Plants are incredible!
