Do Kalms Tablets Work?

[brimmond2]

My 4yo son is due to have surgery in 4wks time & I am very anxious already!
I have never used Kalms before but thought I,d buy a box to try them. Would just like to know if anyone has tried these & if so, did they work? Also when should I start taking them, now?, the week before my son goes into hospital?..... Any thoughts/advice would be much appreciated, thank you.

Can't vouch for Kalms, but Bach's Rescue Remedy has soothed my anxiety on many an occasion. I have the one in the little dropper bottle and take it when I feel myself clenching. It makes me feel better before I've even realised.

If you think they work, they will work IYSWIM.

don't work for me though

Hi sorry to hear about your son wishing him a speedy recovery. I have used calms in the past (during a very stressful period of my life) as a short term remedy they are very good. I would start taking them now so they can build up in your system. Although you can take them as an as and when remedy. I also used a spray called rescue remedy which acts almost instantly when you have those fleeting moments when you think you can't cope any more. However I wouldn't recommend you use either of these things over a sustained period of time.

Thank you so much to everyone for your much needed advice & support. Have really just bought these as in 4wks time I know I,m going to need something to take the edge off. A temp solution just to get me through what will be a tough few weeks. Might also have to look into Bachs. Thanks again.

I would try them out before you actually need them. They gave me a blinding headache
