I take this product with an SSRI and a mood stabilizer. The product nothing short of amazing and works better the longer you take it!!! I'm very in tune with my body and noticed a difference the first day! It has helped tremendously with both depression and anxiety. About 3 weeks in I found myself listening to the radio in the morning staring to beebop a little dance along with the radio.....in....the.....MORNING!!! :)
I've taken it for about 2 months now and I have found my love of music again, I really missed that about myself! I used to turn the music up loud and sing and dance at home, before this product I hadn't done that for a loooong time. But I'm doing it again now! I find myself connecting and paying attention to things more. My anxiety is way down and I'm able to handle stressful things at work much better and I'm not as irritable. My mood is lighter and I'm just happier in general.
I take this supplement in the evening as it chills me out too much to take during the day. However, my best friend takes it during the day as it gives her energy. You'll just have to try it out and find out what part of the day works best for you.
I never put anything on auto-ship but I just did with this one last week! I seriously do not want to forget to order and be without this stuff!
A WORD OF CAUTION WHEN TAKING WITH PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION: Start SLOW. I started with 1/2 a pill for about a week and then moved up from there to find the right dose for me. It took me about a month and a half to find the right dose but I've settled on 1 and 3/4 of a pill per day. If I take 2 whole pills I'm a little tired and my motivation suffers.
I have seen some people say they can stop taking prescription medication with this, however, I feel I have a need for both. However, modern medication has only gotten depression and anxiety to "ok" levels. With the addition of supplements, I think we can get to "great" levels.
A WORD OF CAUTION WHEN TAKING WITH OTHER GABA SUPPLEMENTS:
I'd been taking L-Theanine before starting this. If you take this or any other GABA Supplements you will need to reduce the GABA supplements or you will be extremely tired. I slowly weaned off of the L-Theanine all together and replaced with Lifted. However, I was so nervous about reducing to fast that I spent a good week pretty tired. So as I went up on the probiotic I went down on the L-Theanine until I didn't need it at all.
