This is the best I've felt in months. I took about 4 caps of Nature's Way "premium extract" Feverfew about 7 hours ago and I've felt wonderful all day. Calm, with spirits lifted and able to concentrate, I cleaned the entire kitchen - happily.
I've been more and more impressed with Feverfew. I usually take so many supplements it's hard to know what's doing what, but everytime I feel a kind of calm euphoria, I remember having taken Feverfew earlier.
I googled the words "feverfew" and "anxiety" and came across a lot of reports about "post feverfew syndrome" - when long-term, heavy users stop abruptly. This may actually be a good sign. Valium works, and it, too, has a withdrawal syndrome. (I hope I put enough commas into that sentence)
And I also came across positive reports of Feverfew's use in anxiety. On one message board a young woman with sudden onset of panic attacks after a car accident, discovered Feverfew was the only thing that worked for her anxiety.
Some herb sites list it along side the usual suspects like valerian and passion flower, although it's better known as a headache remedy.
Remember, "Premium Extract" if you go with Nature's Way. Not sure how it compares to other brands in efficacy and price.
