At a dose of 250mg 3 times per day it is very effective for this. When taking Relora the effects become noticeable pretty quickly, after around 24 hours. I usually only use it for a period of about a month at a time but the effects do seem to gradually increase the longer I take it. I have taken benzodiazepines such as Valium for stress and anxiety in the past and the effects from Relora are very similar to those from these drugs. Both provide a feeling of nerves being calmed but do tend to leave you feeling a little drowsy and foggy. This is perhaps just a sign that the dose needs adjustment however. Perhaps as a result of this effect Relora helps me get off to sleep and stay asleep throughout the night. This is a great herbal stress/sleep aid which is relatively inexpensive. As such I'd recommend it as a safe alternative to addictive pharmaceutical solutions for stress and related conditions. ]]> Thu, 15 Nov 2007 17:21:02 +0000
