KALMs

[Dntevenknowit]

Hi All,

I’ve got poor mental health and recently an incident at work has triggered it again. I’ve previously taken regular sertraline. I’m struggling again so thought id try these herbal remedies instead. I’ve taken the sleep one the last two nights but it hasn’t kicked in and I’ve still been lying awake in an anxious state at 4am. Does anyone find them useful and do they build up?

Anyone know?

I've never used Kalms but I have a friend who swears by them. My MIL loves rescue remedy before falling asleep for worries. I personally try to exercise really hard to the point that my body is physically exhausted and I am so pummelled that I forget my worries - "mindfulness on legs" as runners sometimes say.

Whatever works for you, there is no right or wrong - I hope you can get some sleep soon. Maybe worth a ring to your GP in the morning to discuss medication as well?

I've never found them any good, I'm on fluoxetine and quetiapine, but when I have a bad PTSD relapse I sink drowsy antihistamines in to me to sleep aka Nytol.
