I see many people have also had a great experience with Rescue Pearls, but I just wanted to add my review to the pile. hehe I recommend these to anyone who has stress/anxiety/depression issues that's open to taking stuff like this. (i.e. "natural" remedies and/or pills) I should say, I don't know how much of an effect it would have on someone who normally takes prescription strength anxiety/depression medication (though it may help! But I don't want to say for sure as I'm not an expert/professional), but for those in the grey area, where you're not taking prescribed medication, but anxiety/depression issues still inhibit you living your life, this stuff is great. What I love about it: 1) It "evens you out", it doesn't make you overly "happy" or loopy or anything like that, it just makes you feel "better/normal", and maybe in some cases, motivated to do things (which I think just stems from you no longer feeling UNmotivated. hehe). And from my experience, there's no withdrawal symptoms when it wears off. You might eventually slip back into a bad state, depending on the severity/circumstances of your mood, but even then, I've never experienced a major 180 back to zero, it's more like "hmm, I guess I'll take another one, starting to feel bad/weird again", but that's usually hours and hours later, if at all. 2) It works gradually, so you don't feel weird when it starts taking effect. For myself, while I'll sometimes feel better shortly after taking it, mostly it's like, I'll take one and be like "ok time to let it set in" and will go about doing stuff and next thing I know, I'll look at the clock and see a lot of time has passed, and I'll feel noticeably better/"normal". I usually give myself about half an hour before deciding whether I need to take another one or not. I usually don't, only during REALLY rough times have I ever needed to take more than one in a short period of time. (which was rare, just a few times in the past couple years since I started taking them) 3) I personally have experienced no side effects, but I can't guarantee that everyone will react the same, but at least for myself it's been fine to use these things. I try not to take more than one or two a day for a few days in a row if I'm going through a bad time; I definitely don't wanna get in a habit of taking them regularly (though the box claims it's not habit forming, I still don't want to get my body used to it so it loses effect) As others have said, hopefully this stuff is ok for you. haha I've tried looking and haven't seen anything alarming. (but as always, I know there's risks to taking any pills.) 4) It has a pleasant taste! Kind of citrus-y? Though apparently it's made with grapeseed oil! There's probably more I could say, but that's all I can think of for now. In addition to what I said above, the best endorsement I can give these things is that I've even made my boyfriend a believer/user of these, and he is SUPER skeptical about "natural" remedies like this, and even he thinks it helps him!
