Roxann, are there not herbal remedies for anxiety type maladies?   Diazepam 
is dirt cheap, if it works for you, but it isn't something to take on a 
regular basis.  I don't know enough about homeopathic stuff.  I was in my 
GP's office yesterday (flu shot) and she had an article about eating 'clay' 
for good health posted on the patient's bulletin board. I know that you and 
sage are real knowledgeable about plants and their uses....
