I have also had very good experiences with two of my dogs on Aktivait. Definitely worth a shot.

you can only get online (I followed what various knowledgeable friends told me who have been using it for years and both have cockers Daunting & Jacobs mum on here) but there is more info on various US sites

Problem is you can't speak to your vet as such its a product you can't buy here but I did mention to my vets I was doing this and they didn't say no but then I guess my vet trusts me to do my won research too - I originally bought it as Stella was attacking Ruby (she was getting fearful over Ruby's failing health particularly when her tumour became infected and smelt) and it seemed to work + now am using for Roobs overnight (3mg capsule even though she's quite a small cocker) and Stella for her anxiety of Roob's ill health but I have increased Stella's dose when there are fireworks/thunder around.
It doesn't seem to sedate them as such even though it says it has sedative properties
I got mine here
