My wife has used the Suntheanine (L-theanine) supplement in the past for anxiety. She found a drink called Just Chill that contains Suntheanine, Magnezium, and other vitamins (and tastes good to me).

Mission Hospital had me stop taking supplements prior to my surgery 4 weeks ago and I've had trouble sleeping through the night ever since (despite taking Percocet, Valium, Neurontin, and Pamelor). I've resumed drinking a Just Chill before bed, and I've been getting a full night of sleep once again.
Hopefully, this post can help some of you that have trouble relaxing/sleeping. |
I just started taking one of the anxiety drugs and it seems to help better than the muscle relaxor. I think it is called Buspar. It does not really diminish the pain but keeps me calmer when dealing with it. It does not have the side effects the MR gives which for me was depression and more brain fogging.
