A member asked:

Went on high blood pressure medication for 2months it gave me extreme anxiety i was taken off the medication ,monitored at home for 2 weeks my blood pressure was 122/80 . taking ashawaganda and magnesium for anxiety still feel off why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I don't think that those supplements are effective treatment for chronic anxiety or stress. I'd rather see you being treated by a mental health professional for best care. Modalities like cognitive behavioral or stress management therapy with or without appropriate medications are much more effective. Your PCP can refer you.
