I tried Picamilon to help with relaxation, and have been using 200-300 mg every day or two for the last week or so. I've been diagnosed with ADD, panic disorder, and major depression, and am doing pretty well on my prescription meds. However, I have a lot going on and sometimes have trouble unwinding and focusing.
I do have Xanax for this (which helps a lot, and I have plenty), but I try to avoid taking it too often, although I do take Klonopin regularly. So, I experiment with various supplements to see if they help take the edge off. I can always go up on the benzos, but would rather stay fairly low on these and try other options if possible.
I have a pretty good med combo (Klonopin, Adderall and Neurontin, plus occasional Xanax) and no longer experience any real crises, but still need to chill out a bit more sometimes. I started cautiously with Picamilon, and it doesn't seem to interact with any of my other meds. Picamilon seems mildly helpful, so I can see how it could work well for others.
