How the hell did I not know about this before?
I know that's a funny title, but seriously, how the hell did I not??? I was a child with OCD and I have been an adult with OCD and anxiety. I'm also sort of a naturalist and very anti-pharmaceutical. I don't care what anyone says, but this country is driven by "quick fixes" and "happy pills," which of course NEVER solve the problem. I can honestly say that this supplement has saved me in every way that I needed to be saved. I could not for the life of me figure out why my anxiety got worse as an adult where I started having panic attacks and then fearing that I would have panic attacks which brought on more panic attacks. I won't be a hypocrite. I have a script for Xanax but I RARELY take it. When used on occasion, it is a brilliant med, but I don't want to need to take it. I first tried 5-HTP and I'm a very happy person so when I started getting really agitated, I knew something was weird. Then, I read a bunch of reviews where you aren't supposed to drink within 6 hours of taking it and you shouldn't take Ibuprofen. So, essentially, you aren't supposed to live a real life or get cramps or headaches because just have to suffer through them. If I received major benefit from it, I would have gone ahead and taken it. After getting moody, I look again at the reviews for L-Tryptophan. I can honestly say that this has CHANGED ME! No more panic. Sleeping amazingly. I'm not stressed. I hardly have any anxiety. Where have you been all my life, L-Tryp... seriously??? I have friends that are on SSRI's AND Benzos daily and they STILL have panic attacks. If ALL of that medication isn't at least getting rid of your issues, why the hell would you continue to take it and say to yourself, "This seems very wrong..." After having anxiety daily and panic attacks often and literally beginning to question doing things because I didn't want to have panic, I knew that I needed to find SOMETHING to help me or I would literally be nuts by the time I was 40. Friends, this seriously have saved me. I have tried a LOT of stuff (I mean A LOT), but in getting to the root of my stuff (OCD/anxiety), I figured that low serotonin was the bottom line. It would seem then that raising my serotonin levels naturally would be key. I cannot say enough how amazing this product has been. I wish I could give it 10 stars and an Academy Award! Thank you, Source Naturals for making an excellent product. I will be buying a lifetime supply! UPDATE: it's over a month later and I haven't had a panic attack or taken Xanax once!! I think it's a combo of working with your thoughts as well but I really do believe in this product.
