    My best friend s on it and it took about two weeks to start to work into his system the side effects were not bad for him, he said mostly it made him a little nauseous at first. But it was week with it hr has been in it for a little over a year now and it has completely changed his life for the better, hopefully it will work for you best of luck.

      I've suffered with panic attacks and general anxiety fit over 25 years and it's like once I learn to deal with one symptom and think it's gone a new one arises, is horrible I wouldn't wish it in m any one. But i have been really reading alot of books lately that have started to make s huge difference. Since he'll alot and dune there are just a few things that work but I'm taking a littke bit from every book and I can start to see a difference. I am sending all the positive emotions your way!
