CalmAid (lavender/silexan) has been astounding

I finally caved to /u/shrillthrill 's advice and purchased some CalmAid soft gels.
And they've been utterly amazing. I can think clearly now. I didn't even realize how much anxiety was plaguing me. The anxiety relief I've been getting feels more potent than xanax (or Etizolam).
I've noticed:
* I'm incredibly calm in social situations, which are much easier now. No more heart pounding, sweating, hot face, racing mind, etc. My social cues are better and my responses seem more structured and often are witty.
* I used to sit in my room and worry about all the things I had to do, and just how many responsibilities I had. Essentially wanting to do everything at once. Now, I remain relaxed and focused.
* The focus, my god. I find myself doing my school work with an immense level of focus, but it's not intense like with adderall or something. But I was able to read an entire textbook chapter, start to finish, without getting bored or losing my focus.
I definitely felt similar benefits from Ashwagandha, but nothing of this magnitude. I've also ceased Ashwagandha use temporarily due to possible thyroid issues.

So I remember you posting that you have been trying to reduce your tolerance to phenibut. I can tell you that, since starting a trial of fasoracetam, my tolerance to baclofen has dropped pretty dramatically. I don't know enough to say what it means neurochemically, but... it happens.

Yep, I certainly notice that tolerance to Phenibut lowers when using Fasoracetam. It's because of the GABAb up-regulation that Fasoracetam causes.
