I struggle with fairly debilitating anxiety and depression, currently I get 5 Ativan per year for my worst panic attacks (due to addition running in my family) and my family doctor has suggested Lexapro.

I’ve been hearing a lot about Saffron being compared to SSRI’s and I’m wondering if anyone has tried it? Has it been successful or not?

Also what brand is best and what should I be looking for specifically? I’d love to give it a try before resorting to SSRI’s.

I currently take Zinc, Magnesium Glycinate, Vitamin C and a probiotic.

I currently struggle with fairly debilitating anxiety and depression (who doesn’t these days) My doctor recommended Lexapro. For me personally, I want this to be my last resort but I’m more than open to trying it, of course. Currently I only have 5 Ativan per year for my worst panic attacks (as addition runs in my family) and no other medications.

I’m open to medication but I’m also open to lifestyle changes and natural supplements as well.

I have heard a lot about people comparing Saffron to SSRI’s for moderate anxiety and depression.

Has anyone here tried this? What did you find? Also what saffron specifically is the correct one? I’d like to give this a try before finally trying the Lexapro.

Hopefully it’s okay to ask this here, I’m unsure where else to post?

Thank you in advance :)

Just heard one singular gunshot. Did anyone else hear it in the area or any other neighbourhood? Approximately 10:45pm I think. Sounded not as far away as I would have preferred for it to be lol
