ND's Lemon Balm suggestions? Dose? Tips?
Original post in this thread

I'm a fan of Lemon Balm tinctures and whatnot, and just recently got ND's in-house Lemon Balm tablets.
Took 1 500mg with lunch and haven't felt anything from it. Normally, with tinctures I do (those are about equal to 600mg of fresh aerial parts). This tablet is presumably 8x more plant material than what I normally take with the tinctures, so I thought I might feel something.
So, couple of questions:
* What is the upper level dosage while avoiding potential toxicity?
* With or without food?
* Would combining a bit of magnolia bark extract help potentiate the effects?
* Are there any other compounds in this dual extract that could be counteracting the normal sedating effects of water extracts or ethanol extracts?
* Anything else or any tips I should know?

I've been wondering about this: about how much over 500mg with lemon balm goes in the 'other direction' and what does this entail? Is it more uplifting like Cyracos or actually stimulating? I'd like to avoid this as I take lemon balm to calm down at night.

More uplifting. I would say anything over a gram of our 10:1 starts to have that effect. You should be fine with a gram or less if you are looking for a calming effect. It really depends on the person, too.
