Couple of questions... musikcrazy, did you find that the CALM has more of a quick effect, or is it something that takes awhile to feel the effects or that it's more of a "cumulative" thing?

Just bought some yesterday. Picked up just 3 packets, as I didn't want to sink the money into the larger canister not knowing these things. Thanks!

Also, for those of those who've had some success with the Bach's Rescue Remedy. Have you compared them with the pastilles of it, and if so, how would you compare them?

Really should write a post (and may yet), but in short...We've had one heck of a time (major understatement) trying to get set up with docs here (no insurance, one recently aquired min wage job, remaining savings levels into scary zone and the good ol' "not taking any new patients thing... yeah). My alprazolam (Xanax) is almost out, BF has anxiety/depression issues as well *and* his Zoloft is nearly out (even taking half the amount, trying to lessen/avoid SSRI withdrawal problems). We hope to get these issues ironed out soon, but in the meanwhile...it's pretty scary, which is compounded by having major stressors atm. Ugh. (TG I have a good supply/refill# on my Lamictal, or I would *have* to discontinue and well, that would be so NOT good...) One bright note is a place that "seems" like it may work as a stop gap measure that we are going to tomorrow (hope has been dashed so many times now, it's getting *really* hard to take, so trying to keep hope tempered...) Fingers crossed and good thoughts very much appreciated!
