I started taking this a few days ago because I heard that it can help with sleeping disorders and anxiety problems.

I took two pills, which is one serving according to the supplement bottle, and after about 10 minutes I noticed that I was feeling kind of strange. I was feeling extremely relaxed. I'm usually an uptight kind of guy even though I try to be relaxed. This relaxed me tremendously. I was feeling kind of like stoned so to speak.

All my stresses and mental weight was lifted off my shoulders. My mind is normally a cloud of random thoughts, but after taking that I was calm for the first time in a long time.

So after that I went to sleep. I got the best night of sleep I had in a long time. I usually wake up several times a night, but that night was different. I slept like a baby. I was so refreshed the next day.

So naturally I took one the next morning before work, which is not recommended according to the label. Anyways, I felt OK, but I decided to finish the dose with the second pill. It does wonders for my anxiety problems. I usually feel like the odd man out... After a good nights sleep and a couple of these the next morning, I was chatting to everyone. I felt good about it too. Usually I'm shy and introverted and think negatively, like that everyone is annoyed by me. It was nothing but positive vibes this time around. I felt like a whole new person.

One thing observed though, is that people had said that I look tired, and one co worker mentioned that 'judging by my eyes, I looked like I wanted to eat some Cheetos lol' apparently it gives me that stoned look around the eyes.

So all in all the effects are as follows: sense of relaxation (mental and physical as well), suppression of anxieties, baggy eyes, general sense of feeling good. Good nights sleep. Kind of like being stoned, but with clearer thought, and being able to function normally and without fatigue. Music also seems to bring more joy to my life than it did before.

Honestly, this plant has balanced me and made me realize that I should live my life more relaxed and joyful instead of just going through the motions. I feel like I enjoy life more now. Highly recommended for anxiety disorders. Please take control of your lives. Carpe diem!
