> > Thanks so much. I live in Canada, so I'm hoping that I can order Picamilon over the internet. I am just recovering from a physical illness, and it never fails that when I am physically ill and recovering my mood suffers, mild depression sets in and anxiety takes over. I use Xanax occasionally, but try to avoid it because of the dependency issue. I really want to try something natural, and am hoping that Picamilon will do the trick. I don't have a real problem in social situations. It is more a generalized anxiety problem.

> If you have not tried klonopin or nardil, I would recommend trying Picamilon first. It is not as effective, and its effects aren't as consistent, but it definitely had anxiolytic action for me.

I am looking for something to augment my SSRI to help deal with anxiety. The two things I am currently looking at pursuing are: Rhodolia and Picamilon. I am also having a problem with motivation at the present time (has never in all my life been a problem). Based on your experience, should I go ahead and give Picamilon a try? Anything you can tell me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

It's not as powerful as klono, yet definitely has an anxiolytic effect, especially when I take the pills two at a time. Also, I'm even more sure of my SP theory, since tianeptine has diminished the spacy feeling that ssri types give me after the first few weeks.
