OLLY Ultra Strength Goodbye Stress Softgels, GABA, Ashwagandha, L-Theanine and Lemon Balm, Stress Relief Supplement - 60 Count (Packaging May Vary)

All the capsules were stuck together and of no use. No return allowed so they have to go in the bin. Ironically the “Goodbye Stress” supplement has caused me additional stress!

I was shocked by the quick affects of these. I’m 42yrs and stress seems to be becoming a part of my daily life sadly. I find myself stressing a lot about work mostly and being up at night and groggy by morning. These pills kick in pretty quickly, 30-60 minutes, which was the most shocking- I was expecting to have to take them for 3 weeks before feeling any relief. They give you a slight sense of being high or unbothered. Not so much that you’re like a zombie, but just enough to take the edge off. They don’t necessarily make me sleepy, but if I chose to go to sleep I could do so easily. I also wake up feeling pretty good in the morning, which is unheard of in my world. I’m really enjoying these pills right now. I probably wouldn’t take them during the day though, just when you’re ready to wind down because you may be too relaxed to get anything done during the day. I’m impressed.

Has absolutely no effect, did not improved mood or reduce stress.

Had some episodes of bad anxiety, after terrible side effects taking prescriptions in the past I don’t like messing with those anymore. These worked great. Didn’t make me super tired, but calmed me. Also great if you ever get hangxiety. 4 stars because I think they are over priced.

I'm a shift worker that works overnights. For the past year, I've struggled to go to sleep at a consistent time as well as sleep for a reasonable amount of time and have that sleep be restorative. It's been rough. I use black out curtains. I've tried drinking caffeine free tea. I used a mild prescription sleep aid, melatonin as well as OTC sleep aids. I've tried to go to sleep right after getting home from work. I've tried going to sleep several hours after finishing work. Nothing worked for me. I was waking up drowsy, tired, and reaching for the snooze more and more. I was finding myself taking an hour+ nap right before going to work. I even used a few call-in days (limited days usually meant for emergencies or sickness) because I was too exhausted to go to work. I've been miserable. I work a manual labor job which means I really have limited energy to do things at home whether it's chores, exercising, going out, etc. And I know exercising helps with getting good sleep but it's a chicken or the egg problem: how can you exercise when you have no energy? But you can get more energy by exercising. I couldn't do it. I took a shot on this Olly sleep aid. I did a little bit of research and found that this was a promising supplement. At worst it was an expensive placebo, at best, it is an effective sleep aid. It really works well for me. I'm amazed by it. Maybe it's a combination of placebo and sleep aid. I use it in conjunction with Progressive laboratories Twilight Time. I take one for each. Within an hour of taking the two pills, I am starting to fall asleep. Prior to taking these supplements, i would spend hours lying in bed waiting to fall asleep. Or i would get up, watch TV, eat, whatever. Maybe get 3 hours of sleep. I'm getting at least 6 hours every night (your morning/afternoon). And unbelievably, I wake up rested and not drowsy. And with that, I have energy to do things before work. Prior to taking these, I would wake up and do the bare minimum and go to work. Now, I'm entertaining the idea of doing overtime. Prior to taking these, if never think of doing an extra four hours at work. I'm looking forward to exercising outside once the weather improves. I don't know what kind of voodoo magic these things are but thank god it works for me. I have half a mind to buy a load of these in case they go off the market or change their ingredients. One thing I can't comment on is whether they are habit forming or not. As far as value, they're not cheap. The other supplememt I take is about the same price so for about $30, you get two months worth if you only take one.

we switched to these after they discontinued plant powered chill (which we loved, bring it back!) these have made such a difference. no side effects like prescription medication. all the endless brain noise (things to do, stress, worry) is drowned out but you can still focus on your normal tasks. make sure that the ingredients don’t interact with any known health conditions or prescription medications and check with your physician before taking.
