hey! Something "homeopathic" or "herbal" that actually works!
Effects were similar to valium. Took it with my valium on bad days for added relief and it does help. Even alone it it works but not nearly as well as prescription meds. Makes you sleepy and can give you heartburn so take it with plenty of water. These are huge horespills.
