Gelsemium is a great remedy for anticipatory anxiety; when people anticipate even simple things with fear and dread. They become paralysed with the anxiety. They are weary, apathetic, withdrawn and can’t think. May suffer from headaches with drowsiness, heavy, droopy eyes, frequent, painless diarrhoea, and restless, fitful sleep.
 
Lycopodium 
Underlying is usually a lack of self-confidence and a fear of failure, but they hide it well and can even seem over-confident. Despite all the worrying they tend to do fine in the actual exam once they get started. They can be irritable, especially at home. Physically the anxiety shows in digestive symptoms, including lots of bloating and wind.
 
Natrum Muriaticum tends to be tired, despairing and pessimistic. Hammering headaches preceded by misty vision or zig zag lights especially in people who are inclined to brood and ‘stew’ over things.
 
Sulphur talks, grunts or snores with fitful sleep, sticks hot feet out of bed. Inclined to be lazy, absentminded and to procrastinate, study with music on, drinks lined up and mess all around them.
