Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My daughter bought these for me to try after months and months of stress from my husband having a major stroke 11 months ago. I'm his main caregiver and I still have to work so we still have income. If you've ever experienced chronic stress and fear from a major life changing even that never really resolves, you'll understand the exhaustion and continous low key fight or flight response that's always in play when you're awake. I noticed a difference within a week of taking these. I'm not even kidding. I have felt calmer and I've been less reactive to situations which has allowed me to take a step back and make miss thought out decisions. After a few weeks I did notice that I was starting to feel sort of lethargic and I cut down to one gummy a night, which is my sweet spot I guess. I should say that I'm not taking any medications, rx or otc, and I haven't had the time (literally) to try to start the process of assigning a PCP for my medical care so that I can get a referral to a counselor so that I could actually start counseling. That sounds like too many steps for me when I have so many other, more important things to do. As an aside, I believe that many people that really need easy access to mental health succumb to the hurdles you face just to try to FIND a counselor, much less find one that you finally can work with. I know that's my issue, it is just too much and I have no energy for it. Anyway, YES, these gummies made a difference in my stress levels and have helped me to sleep better and for longer periods. I don't know why or how, and I don't care. I need these in my life and I'm just thrilled that they've given me the smallest, tiniest part of myself back so I can get through the day without breaking down into tears. One star removed for price and taste. They're not great but they are palatable.
