Source Naturals Calm Thoughts - 90 Tablets

First of all I'd like to mention that my review is based on a bottle that I purchased and was not given one in exchange for a review.Few weeks ago I was in a health food store and came across a bottle of this supplement. Of course I've tried several different supplements for anxiety over the last 20 years and have come across some that have worked OK and some that didn't help at all. This one in particular I will say has worked better than anything I've ever tried before. I'm not sure what makes this supplement so special, other than it works for me.I originally bought a bottle from a health food store, just to try it out and when I ran out it was time to either go back to that same health food store or see if Amazon had a larger bottle worth buying. Amazon has the same supplement with 20 more pills for the same price I paid at the health food store. Needless to say I ordered from Amazon.Now, for how this makes me feel. I have suffered from anxiety and depression my entire life, stemming from childhood and am dead set against pharmaceutical drugs, so my only option is natural supplements. I've tried many different brands over the last 20 years with some to little luck. This so far is the best I've tried. It doesn't make me sleepy and I don't feel like I'm in a fog. In the morning I take one pill and within an hour I feel calmer. This supplement doesn't take the anxiety away but it does take the edge away. Instead of feeling wound up and anxious I feel calmer, more in control. I ran out and for 3 days went without taking this supplement. The 1st day I noticed nothing, it was the 2nd day that my anxiety came back and it was intense. By day 3 I was already walking around anxious, annoyed and feeling really unsettled. I'm not an emotional train wreck either and my depression is slightly lifted.For me this supplement does work. I only use it during the day instead of at night, because usually I sleep comfortably enough at night.I'd recommend to others with anxiety and depression.

I had high hopes for this given my history of moderate anxiety and depression, I stopped taking psych meds over a year ago. Strangely this supplement mildly helped my anxiety for about a week then day 8 I felt markedly depressed and given I hadn't changed anything else I blamed this product, discontinued, and I was back to baseline. St John's wort is a tricky herb and isn't for everyone so I'm not that surprised. I'm going to continue my ashwagandha only supplement for my anxiety.

OMGosh. This is my savior. I used to take meds for depression, ran out, found this and it is so awesome!!! I take 1/2 in the AM and the other 1/2 before bedtime. If for any reason I'm stressed, I just take/chew another 1/2 and I'm good. It just calms me down. Always contact your doctor first. Every one is different, so there is never a "one size fits all". Again, if you have issues, meet with your doctor.

I have used this product for years for depression, focus problems, and mild anxiety. I do not doubt that this formula will not help everyone, but the many positive reviews here show it helps many. Disclaimer: I tried using SSRI's under a doctor's direction, but seemed to be too sensitive to their effects to use them comfortably. This product contains valerian, an herb with known calming or sedative qualities. Yes, it tastes vile, so you want to swallow these quickly. Also, valerian may have a paradoxical effect, which could also account for the negative reviews. Leaving off one star as, yes, it would be nice if they could develop a coating to help them go down more easily and mask the odor.

They work so well. A friend told me about them and I honestly didn't believe they would work but gave it a try. They do exactly what they claim. I get very anxious at night and have trouble sleeping. I take one of these and with in 30 minutes I am calm and sleep great through the night. I have used occasionally for day time anxieties as well and they don't cause drowsiness but a very super relaxed feeling. I just purchased a second larger bottle and will purchase again. I highly recommend!

I have purchased this at least 5 times, which says quite a bit considering that I'm often trying new products. Why? Because many have little if any worthwhile results.Calm Thoughts has been fairly reliable at relieving anxiety for my young-adult son, over the past couple of years. This has become a part of his therapy. He definitely notices a difference when he's without it for a while.For him:On the onset of the worrying thoughts which have led to panic attacks, if he takes Calm Thoughts....the thoughts literally are calmed.I say fairly reliable because it seems to depend on timing.

I’ve been taking the pills for 3 days and I can feel an improvement on the depression symptoms. I feel very cold and sleepy around 10 min after taking it, and it makes me sleep better, that’s why I decided to take it at night (made me lazy during the day) and I’ve been feeling colder in general (next day) I’m still feeling lazy and without energy even taking it before sleeping, but at this point idk if it’s the pills or the depression itself. I recommend it overall.

During a time of high stress and anxiety, I used these and they definitely had a calming/sedating effect. I wouldn't take them year round because I felt like they made my reflexes a bit too slow. But it did help get me through a very stressful season and I am thankful for that.
