For Anxiety and Stress This medicine helped me out so much. I was scared at first and thought, why do I need to be controlled by a pill. Turns out, that pill saved me from doing something crazy and I am much calmer now with a lot of issues I face and things I have to solve. I am not afraid to try things or explore things because of my anxiety. It took a good 3 to 4 weeks before I can tell the difference in my life. Everyone is different with the affects of how long it may take.
