This is gonna be an unpopular post, but it’s regarding Sleep Support causing next day depression, lethargy etc. I found the culprit! (At least for me)!

Everyone is different. Our lives would be a lot easier if everyone reacted the same to things, but that's just not the reality of how we work. Our body/brain chemistries vary wildly from each other. This is why it is so hard to create stacks that work for the majority of people. It took us years of work to formulate Sleep Support, but that doesn't mean it is perfect for everyone. That's frankly impossible to do when trying novel things, like creating a holistic stack that improves sleep quality. We didn't just want a stack that made you drowsy like all the other stuff out there. We wanted one that actually improved sleep architecture. The issue with novel things is that you are going to be hitting systems that are not commonly targeted, or with things not often combined together. Plus, you have to formulate it in such a way that the majority of people will get a specific effect. However, this means it can't be perfect for everyone taking it. It's made to be effective for an average person. This is also why we sell all the ingredients in it as standalones. It gives people the ability to try each on their own, and see which ones work/don't work. Finding what works best for you is a process, and figuring out which things you react poorly to is a part of that. There's really no way around it, even if you get prescribed things by a doctor. It's always a trial and error to figure out which combo of things will work best for you. It can certainly be frustrating, but that's just part of the process.

Since you say you react strangely to lemon balm as well, I would bet your side effects are coming from too much acetylcholine. Both lemon balm and magnolia bark have mild ACh sterase inhibition properties, and some people are very sensitive to increases in ACh. You might also react strangely to GABAergic things. Have you ever taken L-theanine before?
