Supplements for keeping calm

[btails]

Interested on what everyone uses to keep themselves mellow. Not for sleep just for everyday all day.

Supps only please, not pharmaceuticals or "other"

 

[Maelstrom]

I personally like Ashwaganda, Relora, Seriphos and CBD. I never get much calming action from Magnesium or Rhodiola Rosea, but I know others like them.

 

[Sixfoottwo]

Only ashwaganda and magnesium. Take them in the morning and pre bed. Ashwaganda does kinda numb my emotions a bit. I'm not a very emotional guy to begin with but now even less so. Don't mind it tho.

 

[SouthernMuscle]

L-Theanine 500mg+

 

[Love_to_Bodybuild]

L theanine , magnesium maybe

Some use l theanine if using stimulates to keep from to much stimulation so if iver stimulation comes on, wise to carry a l theanine or two with you. Moreover, I think it's best for sleep, and generally take it close to when I lay down to tuck in. It helps put into deeper rem sleep via gaba from what I understand. Caffeine , alcohol and cannabis within 8-12 hours of sleep has been shown to decrease rem sleep. Another powerful drug that needs to be used sparingly, if at all, is phenibut, but I wouldn't recommend it like I would l theanine.

I use controlled breathing to my advantage but guess that would be called an "other".

Huge fan of ashwagandha... I dose it with my last whole meal of the day, though. Enhanced sleep, and it seems to control my anxiety/stress very well throughout the day as well.

Definitely I take mornings and evenings. Works better for me than most anti-anxiety meds without side effects.

Same here... works just as well if not better than any RX med without the side effects of being a zombie.

When you megadose benadryl it becomes an anti anxiety medication called hydroxyzine and is quite effective for calming wrestless agitation, anxiety, and unease. 100mg as needed.

 

[maxmusle1]

Sleepytime Tea Extra 2 bags, with L-dopa 20% and 50mg P5P enhanced about 1 hour before bed . During the day….just staying mindful and eating on-time. I hear some strong herb/perennial Extracts help as well. Holy Sweet Basil, Ashwaghanda, Lemon Balm, Skullcap, California Poppy, Mitragynine , Kava etc
Valerian & Chamomile Works !!

What brand and dose do you use?

 

[TheRoid]

Good old Valerian Root.
Cheap and reliable.

 

[Cerberus777]

What brand and dose do you use?

Toniq brand on Amazon has lots of ks66 so not too sedative.

I like CALM it’s Magnesium and high quality CBD. Used to be on all kinds of Rx meds and these aren’t stronger, but they work pretty good.

 

[Tomgrass]

Ashwa and magnesium as well

I’ve used it! That powder with a Blue label and the one I had was pretty tart. It works well and definitely kicked the bowels in the morning, lol

This seems to happen with some. Almost like an SSRI type effect.
