Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am getting my life back because of Lifted. I remember dealing with anxiety at an early age. I was 4 when I started having itching and hives related to stressors. I remember lying in bed at 7 worrying about my Dad who had been hurt. I wondered how we could get him out of the house if it caught fire. Pretty heavy for a seven year old. At 12, I first though of suicide. It was the late 70s and mental issues were very stigmatized. My mother didn't want my issues on my "permanent record." It was around that time that I was first treated for stomach ulcers. I continued to suffer for many years. At 30, I was severely depressed. I had to quit a job I loved, was separated from my husband, and suicidal. I ended up with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder. I started meds... and was found to be treatment resistant. At one point, I was taking around 20 pills a day. The meds created a new set of problems. Besides the expense (one med was about $600 a month. All combined, about $1400), the side effects were horrible. Parkinson's type tremors, nausea, dull thinking, fatigue and sleepiness, no feelings, and severe body pain. I even ended up with a fibromyalgia diagnosis and was given more meds for that. There were days I could sense that these meds were toxic and I could feel they were going to kill me. I took them, though, because my mental state without them caused so many relationship issues. Two years ago, a series of events caused me to try tapering off, even the fibromyalgia meds. I was in pain anyway and knew I'd soon be in a wheelchair. I was spending most of my time in bed, crying. The detox process was awful. My anxiety came back with a vengeance and I felt absolute rage all the time. But I started to feel better physically. My fibromyalgia pain was not as bad. I was able to get up and do more. I knew I needed help mentally, but the physical was improving. I tried a variety of natural type things... essential oils, meditation, vitamins and minerals without much success. The anxiety never turned off. My depression was dark. My anger was volatile. I wanted to die if this was going to go on the rest of my life. I even tried going back on a mood stabilizer. But within a few days, the pain was back. I stopped immediately and was merely existing. In October 2018, I had been reading some about the brain gut connection. Knowing I'd been plagued with stomach issues most of my life helped it just make sense. I'd tried other strains of probiotics which had helped my IBS and they had helped. When I found the Lifted ad, I knew I had to try. I was taking a prescription med for anxiety, but it wasn't helping and I really think natural when possible is better. I started taking one...in a few days, I upped the dose to two. After about three or four weeks, I noticed I wasn't as on edge. I was coping with stress better. I had more energy. After a few months, I'm feeling the best I have in years. I'm 51 and I feel like there's hope for the first time in 20+ years. I'm so excited about this product, I have told everyone and ordered it for my sister who has pretty severe anxiety and a friend who has alcoholism. They've both been taking it a month. She has more energy and less anxiety and he reports less cravings. Another sister has just ordered her own Lifted! Thank you so much for this amazing blend. It's the only thing that has helped me with my depression and anxiety that kept me feeling like me.
