Kalms _ are the any good? any known side affects?

title says it all really

From another thread I been feeling stressed/depressed but cant get to see my doctor for another week, in the meantine thought I would try kalms, I have tried st johns wort in the past but had some side effects (dizziness) just thought I would try Kalms, just wandering if anyone had any experience

did take them for 3 months in the great hope they would chill me out... but nothing happenened! sorry!

make my sister throw up.

I have used them, but found them pretty useless tbh. I had no side effects what so ever, but they didn't calm me at all!
I found Rescue Remedy much more effective!

i've used them and like them. i believe they have valerian in them, which is one of my favourite things to calm me down. although i prefer Dr. Stuart's Valerian Plus tea to tablets. (although if/when taking the tea or tablets, i dont have caffeine since that seems to counter the effects.)

(although i've found sometimes, having a hot bath at night with a good, mindless book can be just as nice!)

to add> i didnt have any side effects!

a similar one is valerina and i found they relaxed me a bit where kalms had done nothing.

I find Rescue Remedy really good - loads better than Kalms!

where can you get rescue remedy from?

cool I will nip down the chemist later and see if the have them.

Got mine from the health food shop

great just picked it up, and takent he first dose, how long usually before it starts to work.

Doesn't take long to kick in
