Rescue remedy, Kalms or amitriptyline? Experiences?

Hi Jamie,

I used to work with someone who swore by Kalms - but I don't know how severe her symptoms were...she always seemed to be at work every day.

As for Amitriptyline - I was prescribed that in December for a neuroligical pain in the foot (one tablet at 8pm). However, I have only risked one tablet so far when the burning pain was very bad. I, too, read all the scary stuff about side-effects and haven't dared ouch them since!

Sorry I can't be any more help x

Hi,

I have always got rescue remedy in my bag I use it as many times as I want I think it helps don't know if that's in themind that you are taking something with no side effects but it seems to calm me,you can only try like everything might not suit us all

Hi!

I always carry Rescue Remedy pastilles. I find by the time I've finished sucking them I've usually calmed

down. flavour of choice -black currant but ordinary ones are fine too! Boots often have them on three for two.

I also find lavender oil on the wrists and breathed in very comforting but I am female. I put it on my pillow at night sometimes. Have also used Rescue Night Remedy on occasion to good effect.

Interesting Sue never had the pastils only the drops .could do with a ton of them today done nothing but cry ,but HeyHo it happens.

Hope you are having a better day

Hi Joan!

Pastilles last longer in the mouth. It's probably psychological . I'm like you, going through quite a few at the

moment. Good job Boots had them on offer. Hope they're still on offer! Only cried twice today.

Sue

Are tissues on offer as well LOL

Ha! Ha! Ha! Hey will check that out! ....... Nah .....cheaper in Poundland! Never without those either!

Lol

Yes that's true,have you had your dinner soon be bedtime ,not looking forward to tomorrow Husband out all day HELP hate being alone.

I have used Kalms and rescue remedy. Rescue remedy was always on hand in my house growing up, as soon as we hit 12/13 my mum had supplies of it! I tried Kalms and think it was more of a placebo effect for me.. but hey, I'll take the placebo effect over no effect!

Hi! We've had our dinner. I find this time of the day easier.

Hope you find things to help you cope. Coming on here, garden therapy (it's lovely out there- no heavy

digging just deadheading and finding what's growing and enjoying the beautiful flowers). The day can seem very long.

I'm planning an Easter Egg hunt for Sunday for the two young grandchildren (Easter tradition ).

Keep in touch.

Have a good evening.

Sue

Thanks,and you have a good evening.
