I have been prescribed SSRIs for anxiety and took for a long time. It made a big difference but had side effects as well. I have also tried a lot of supplements known to have an anti anxiety effect. I am off the SSRI now and am trying to manage with exercise (which has a pretty significant benefit for me) but have still been struggling lately so I am looking for additional assistance. I felt a benefit at 1 KannaEase but was hoping two may provide some more relief on bad days.
I had already answered your initial post before I saw this one.
I don't take SSRI's because of the side effects myself. Some of them seemed to help me, some of them just made me mad (which was scary bc I'm a very laid back person). And the side effects suck. The reason I explained that is to say this - when I first started taking KannaEase, I was meaning to take it occasionally as needed. But I was going thru a really crappy time and noticed quickly that every day was kind of an as needed day bc KannaEase really helped take the edge off and it helped me keep from getting frustrated as easily and definitely helped me not be as snappy at others when I'm frustrated or overwhelmed. So I guess you could say it helps me not get as frustrated or overwhelmed but also helps me handle it better when I do.
I'm glad that you felt a benefit at 1 capsule. Have you tried taking 2 capsules per day spaced out? That may be an option versus 2 at once; but you could try it both ways and see how you like it best.
My personal regimen is this:
- 1 capsule Stress & Anxiety Support twice per day every day
- If I know a day is going to be particularly bad day, I'll take 2 capsules of Stress & Anxiety Support with my first dose and then some days an extra capsule between my morning and nighttime dose.
- 1 KannaEase daily in the morning with Stress & Anxiety Support
- Some days, 1 KannaEase later in the day if needed.
For me, both Stress & Anxiety Support and KannaEase work great but the feeling from them is slightly different. It's hard to explain but pronounced for me. Like Stress & Anxiety Support is the base in that it helps keep me from being as stressed and anxious and takes the general edge off. And then KannaEase tends to help me deal with things better when the stress or anxiety becomes overwhelming. I hope that makes sense.
