In reply to Skullcap, limeflowers, posted by Meri-Tuuli on January 9, 2007, at 10:48:38
I don't know about limeflowers, but I have tried skullcap. I used it to relax after work and help insomnia. It did not have the knockout punch of benadryl or drugs that I am accustomed to, but it did help. I took the recommended dose on the bottle but I think I needed more. It seemed longlasting. Even through the next day I felt very calm and serene, almost totally noncaring about anything.
Skullcap is put into natural high smoking blends as it is supposed to mild marijuana-like. I tried smoking it. I didn't get high. I did get a sense of calm. I was staring at a picture of a cat on the wall in semi-dark and I swear I saw the cat's eyes looking left to right, blinking, staring at me. It wasn't a real high, and if it hadn't been in semi-dark it probably wouldn't have happened, but I know for sure it would not have happened on its own without smoked skullcap.
Overall it seems mild enough. Yet it has power because I have read in a couple places that they use it to help wean people off of opiates. For insomnia I found it helpful, but like I said, it didn't have the knockout punch of drugs like xanax, benzos, remeron, zyprexa, or seroquel.
