Hello,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.
I have gone through the details provided in query and understand your concerns.

First of all I like to congratulate you for steping out to seek help
Although online platforms are useful to seek information or get second opinion but they can not be drug dispensing. This is due to the fact that prescription needs physical examination which is not possible through internet. In addition medical registration authorities condider it illegal the online prescription due to above stated readon.

Having said this I will be glad to assist you for treatment of anxiety and ADD. Feel free to post your questions to me.
Thanks and regards.

I understand. I should have been more detailed in my question. I'm looking for natural alternatives that are not stimulants or something I have to take every day like Strattera. The Internet has too much information to know which is safe but also effective. Can you advise please?

Brief Answer:
the only effective alternative to medications is therapy

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for reverting back to me.

I am aware of number of herbal and alternative medicine products for management of anxiety as well as ADHD but unfortunately none of them have evidence base to claim their utility. What I know after years of experience with these molecules is that they are good placebos and nothing more. You may get internet data contrary to my understanding but I believe that information over internet is not always true and have ulterior motives.

Only thing which surely acts is psychotherspy. In mild ADD it is always advisable to go for behavioural management before attempting any medication. To large extent same is applicable for anxiety. In my opinion if you are not thinking to take medication psychotherapy is best next option rather than sny herbal products.

I hope this helps you.
Thanks and regards.
