My doctor suggested I take this last year for my GAD. I've been taking it since September, and it's definitely been a huge change for me. Previously, I was really "on edge" and would get panic attacks semi regularly. I haven't had a full panic attack since starting to take in, and day to day I feel much more like I'm able to function like a regular person instead of always having that "on edge" feeling.

I guess it's possible it could be a placebo? Previously I was on lexapro for a while, and that didn't seem to be as effective as this, and had some side effects.

How long do you think it took to start working?

It took a couple weeks for me because I started with taking one daily at night, didn't notice much benefit, then took two per dr. recommendation. After that noticed benefit pretty quickly.

One thing I did not expect which the article mentions is the "burps that taste like lavender". It was quite unexpected for me but I personally quite like them. I think my stomach might have gotten used to the lavender though because I would get them ever single time I took them for the first few weeks, and now it's maybe once a week some minor burp.

Yeah, I figured there'd be lavender burps... Did you grow breasts (assuming you didn't already have them)? (That seems to be a prevalent side effect)

[ddlutz]

I did not.
