" It increased my anxiety too. One moment I'd feel great but then my mind would switch to panic mode and I would about to die. I kept trying it though like an idiot because it was highly recommended for stress. But I think it made all my disorders worse. "

" i've read that in several cases it actually can CAUSE anxiety...i guess it depends (probably has to do with the paranoia) "
