Ever Hear of Blue Lotus?

[NYMan]

Hi All, I'm new here and don't know my way around yet. So this is probably in the wrong place. Or maybe not.

My Doc won't give me enough pf a Benzo for my anxiety. So some guy who works in a head shop told me of an herbal concoction called Blue Lotus. He seems to think it might work the same as a Benzo. Well not the same exactly, but it might help anxiety. I really do need something. I don't much money so I can't go to different Docs hoping to get what I need. I just don't have the money. And Blue Lotus is about $20 - $30 for a few pills. Does it work? Has anyone tried it? Anyone know anything about it?

Welcome New York Man.. I haven't tried it. I do know one thing that is great for Anxiety. I am stricken with the worse case of Anxiety and Depression...
When my breathing and heart rate get up, and my heart feels like it will beat out of my chest cavity, I try to calm down. Go somewhere that you feel good. Maybe on a porch, or a hallway.. Breath in deeply as if you were smoking a cigarette. drag it in, let it sit there for a sec.. let it out.. good intended breaths... Don't do it so heavily that it will make you pass out or get dizzy headed though.

I hope this helps a little. I wish I knew more about Herbal remedies.

NYman: it might be too late for me to give you my opinion on this.....I am also interested in Blue Lotus (Nelumbo Nocifera type), and, personally, I would go for the natural leaves, and avoid any "pills", especially those sold over the internet. Though I haven't tried it yet (but I am planning to do so very shortly), I have read numerous reviews on different sites where Blue Lotus is sold:

(Sorry, I am not allowed to post links just yet, because I am new to this forum, but you can probably find all these sites, if you haven't found them yet):

shamansgarden
tropilab

Perhaps you have discovered all of those, by now, but just in case, I am giving you the links that I know about:

And there is also the California Poppy, from which some people seem to have gotten great relief for both pain and anxiety
