Mileage does indeed vary. I've tried every single one of the supplements you listed. All either did nothing, caused other problems, or did the opposite of what they should have done. Except for one, which I think is a good one...Passionflower. Either by itself or in a blend with Lemon Balm and/or Skullcap. All the other stuff you listed, pretty lousy for me.
Phosphatidyleserine is another to be on the list. Many anxieties are caused by HPA axis being messed up secreting too much cortisol, too much norepinephrine, or secreting at the wrong times of the daily clock. PS triggers the control center in the brain to back off on the secretion.
