I guess it would depend on your tolerance to it. I used to self- medicate my anxiety with mm (back in the stone age before there WAS MM & before I knew there was a name for my anxiety. Worked for me for yrs. but had to quit as I got older because it started to Cause me anxiety. I trust nature over FDA's "wonder drugs" any day though! New drug today = a new lawsuit tomorrow, We're all just government guinea pigs anyway if you ask me.
