When i take arabien at night i feel my stress shrink but i can only take it at night is there anything that uses the same mechanism that arabien does that i can use during the day?
 
Arabien is considered a sedative-hypnotic drug, so it works very similar to a class of drugs called benzodiazepines which include Lorazepam and Xanax, which can be taken during the day to relieve anxiety. Benzodiazepines can be habit forming if taken in high doses for a long period of time, so they should only be used sparingly. Past that, if you truly need to take something daily for anxiety you should probably consider an anti-anxiety medication like Buspar or an antidepressant like Zoloft or Paxil.
 
Prozac has calmed me quite a bit. I used to get anxious all the time, upset easily, and think too much obsessively. I can honestly say that Prozac has cured a LOT of this. I made many lifestyle changes but was still having trouble with obsessive thinking. Prozac really does relax my mind. I take 20mg and I take it at night, yet it lasts all day. I am taking a generic form and it was giving me acid reflux when I eat (especially with fruit, which I love to eat), but this usually is not a common side effect. I also have Xanax to take only as needed, which can certainly be during the day. It definitely relaxes me very well. I hardly ever need it with the Prozac though. The Xanax is .25mg and my doctor told me to only take half a pill unless I felt that it wasn't working.
