I've tried a lot of supplements, and most don't do much for me in terms of anxiety relief. L-theanine (an amino acid found in green tea) actually does seem to have a calming, focusing effect. It's used extensively in Japan, in both the natural (tea) and synthetic forms. I don't find it as potent as prescription meds (which I continue to take), but I was pleasantly surprised that theanine actually seems to help. So, I can second the previous post in this respect (I haven't tried picamilon).
