Gary Brecka defines anxiety biochemically as elevated levels of four neurotransmitters, not just fear. He suggests B vitamins, methylcobalamin, methylfolate, and SAMe can help break down neurotransmitters and reduce anxiety symptoms.

So she has suffered from anxiety. She gets some medications. She says it actually gives her more anxiety.
Yes. When you ask somebody, even a therapist or a healthcare practitioner, what is anxiety, they will describe the characteristics of anxiety, say it's a fear of the future, it's a sensation of impending doom, it's constant ruminating thoughts about worst-case scenario. But what is it? Anxiety is a rise in 4 neurotransmitters. When these 4 neurotransmitters rise, you feel anxiety. Whether there is a fear present or not, my recommendation would be to supplement with complex of B vitamins, methylcobalamin, methylfolate, and something called SAMe, S-adenosylmethionine, which is the most prevalent methylated nutrient in the human body. You can very often restore the proper breakdown of these neurotransmitters.
