Not really - you could try Kalms or St Johns Wort - some say they work but never have for me.  If its that bad go and see your GP xx

Some people concentrate their stress in problem areas of their body. Headaches, stomach problems, backaches are the common ones. Whether you think you have stress or not (and we all do), stress management supplements are a good thing to use. B-50 complex, once or twice a day, are the cornerstone of stress reduction.\nValerian is very relaxing, physically and mentally, and can help with stress and back pain. There are several potencies out there, use as directed, but stay on the low dose side until you learn how to use it. Safe, effective, cheap. Medicine cabinet staple.\nBuilding up musculature (especially abdominal muscles) is key to back health.

Exercise, reduce stress; losing weight sometimes helps. But why depend on purely "natural" ways? It's not dangerous, nor is it "unnatural" to use medication under a doctor's supervision. It's much more efficient and reliable sometimes.\n\n[And a side note to Psychology, who's a very clever chap: quit smoking! You're way too good looking to put your health in danger.]

I've heard that Mederma works well.  It's a little bit expensive, but it's probably worth it, and it's available over-the-counter.  I've seen it at Wal-Mart and other drugstores.

Cool water. not too cold. drink it.\nThen take a cool (not cold) shower and go to bed. Do not sleep with a light on! Try to reduce your stress level. \nExercise is great for stress. just 10 or 15 minutes two or three days a week can make a real difference. Open a window. Fresh air is the best. helps the blood circulate and if it is migraines that's the best thing. Also, try not to get over heated or too cold.

All the diet and sleep suggestions are great ideas.  I have found that if you can help your body deals with stress you can sleep better, that will help the tired feeling in it's self.  I suffer from FMS.  I take an inexpensive Vita B complex.  You can buy it at Wal-Mart or any drug store.  Vita B help your body deal with stress.  Also you could try Melatonin.  It help to adjust your biological sleep cycle.  This could be more pricey but it could help.  Good Luck.

Yoga and bubble baths (not at the same time)  Sometimes medicines can help I was using Lexapro and that seemed to work.  But I quit to see if I could go without it.  And I'm doing all right.  Be careful that some anxiety/depression medicines can make your attitude flat or boring without you realizing it.

Two words.  LOT LIZARDS.  That should relieve some stress.  Or you could try those breathing exercises.  Take 3 deep breaths and hold for 3 seconds and keep doing it until you feel better.

I go to a hypno-psychotherapist. It helps to have someone to talk to without being judged and getting help in relaxing. Then I de-stress through a hobby, sewing. When I am just about to explode, I drop everything and sit on my sewing chair and turn on the machine. Think also of If they are close by maybe you can call them for coffee or something.

Try and find the cause of your stress, and work on it, exercise helps a lot , along with a good nights sleep, and drinking enough water, in fact I think they have a book out titled STRESS AND WATER.\nIt is so hard today in our fast paced life styles, not to be stressed out. I could also say not to worry, but doesn't seem to fit with life styles today either.\nLaughter is so therapeutic, and is a good medicine.
