Have you ever heard of Bach's Rescue Remedy? > From: "John" <http://www.a.com/~a> > Date: Mon, 9 Oct 2000 00:10:10 +0100 > > I took Cipramil which is similar to Paxil. I wouldn't recommend it.

These drugs (SSRIs) that > the drug companies are making are way to strong and have too many side > affects. There is a drug that I found useful its called Inderal, its a lot > cheaper than the anti-depressants, hasn't any side effects and reduces > anixety. You should also try Herbal remedies, like Bach's Rescue Remedy (You > can get them in Boots) I found that these had a relaxing and anti-depressant > effect without the side-effects.
