I am a man in my 80s, having a very busy time now, with too many thoughts at night. My basic sleep is 5 hours. I can sleep hours in total after 1 spray applied when awake after an initial sleep of hours. I advise all of you who have too many thoughts at night to try it. Hi Joseph Thanks for sharing your experience. Do you think there is some placebo effect at work, or is your opinion that the ingredients are actually doing what they are supposed to do? Regards Ethan. That placebo never did a thing for me. Thanks for your comment Louis. Hi Maria Jane Thanks for your comment. Do you think that also applies to the placebo effect though? Thank you. Thanks for your comment. I imagine you read the Nytol Herbal review beforehand, as this article is about Rescue Remedy! Maybe a little longer with the Nytol will help. I bought the pastilles form and blackberry, which tasted great. I have taken other kinds before and had no problems. After taking it, I felt too relaxed.

I went to relax but could not sleep. Later on during the day, I felt as if I was going to have a headache, but by the time I went to bed, I felt like I had headaches all over, not just in one spot. I slept ok, woke up the same, with headaches everywhere. Maybe it was how relaxed I was and my neck or back caused it. I drank caffeine and still had a headache, later had coffee, and I felt much better. Still, the headache is there, but less. For as much as I found this to be an unpleasant experience with this brand, I wonder if this can help someone. I will not take them again though.

Hi Ray Thanks for sharing your experience. It does sound like Rescue Remedy is not for you, no matter how great they taste! Headaches are usually a warning sign for me to stop taking any sleep aid. I am curious, did you eat or drink anything before taking these homeopaths? They will not work if you have had anything by mouth including smoking 15 minutes before and after. Also with homeopaths if you do not have the symptoms of the one you are taking it will do the opposite. When my nervous system goes into hyper gear—twitching, cramping, spasms—Rescue takes the edge off enough that I can work or sleep. Hi there Thanks for sharing your experience. Some people believe that our thoughts can influence the world in a more literal sense. They believe that if we think positive thoughts, we can actually manifest our desires and make them come true. Hey there, I have been taking them for a week now and today I have an awful headache. My general anxiety disorder is really playing up and I have ringing in my ears.

Hi Sara Thanks for sharing your experience. I hope you manage to find something that does help, and that you make progress in dealing with your anxiety. Hi Julie One way to find out is to stop taking them and see if the lightheadedness passes. I tried the sleep melts for the past week, even took 4 at once last night and did not help me with sleep at all, was up until 4am. But I have also been getting nightly headaches the entire week, too. Will keep looking for a safe sleep aid I guess! Hi Nicole Thanks for your comment. Do you think the headaches were connected to the Rescue Remedy, or something else? Maybe the lack of sleep? Either way, I hope you find something that helps. I had a reaction 2 days ago after combining Clematis, Elm and Walnut although one of them, I think Elm, came out a few more than 2 drops which was frustrating. Quite quickly the left side of my face started tingling then the right side felt like I was having some kind of a stroke.

I went upstairs to look in the mirror. And I swear when going to the loo my pee was hotter than usual. I never want to try these again. I am more tired than ever now too. Has this happened to anyone? Does anyone know how to stop these effects? Hi Sandra Thanks for sharing your experience, which sounds scary. Did you speak to your doctor about what happened? Another thing I had been giving my 14 year old daily for months was Megamag, a liquid magnesium supplement which is naturally derived from Salt Lake City. He must have benefited from the levels of magnesium yet it had none of the proclaimed effect on sleep patterns. Hi, just a small testimony from those who have long suffered from anxiety crises. In my case, a move for work reasons forced me to lose all the relationships I had and as if that were not enough, the new colleagues were a band of insensitive people who made fun of me at every opportunity. The human being is complex.

Hi Heather Thanks for sharing your story. Out of interest, can I ask if he knows what the Remedy is? Hi there! I just purchased a bottle the other day because I suffer from anxiety, depression, and insomnia nice cocktail ahah Anyway, I heard about this before and decided to give it a try. The thing is, the more I do researches on Bach flowers, the less I find. Depends on the person is a wild answer. Not saying it causes it, but so far it makes me feel like I got some really expensive and gross booze. Thanks for your comment and for sharing your experience. I think what you say highlights a problem with many over the counter medications, supplements and remedies. In this case, I see what you mean about the effect timeline. I know some remedies, like valerian, have an argument for taking them for longer to get the maximum benefit. Hi, I use rescue all the time and I find yes it works. I also use Kalms — think they work great together. My friend recommended Bachs Rescue Remedy [comfort and reassurance] to me as my anxiety was awful which manifested as physical symptoms such as abdominal discomfort, pressure in my chest and palpitations.

I did my research prior to using it so I was very skeptical based on the results of the controlled studies. It may not work for everyone but it sure worked for me. Hi Cheryl Thanks for sharing your experience. My daughter always has a terrible time when it is bedtime for her 4 , 8, 12 year old children! Mixed it in water before their bedtime without saying anything… Would you believe that they all settled nicely after their bed time stories! Without the usual drama! My daughter was amazed! Whether be a placebo effect or not, to them it was just a sip of water! It worked! So it has become a regular ritual with no more drama at bedtime!! Hi, started using rescue remedy past week after suffering anxiety. It was recommended by a friend and although originally sceptical I was amazed at how quickly the drops kicked in. Within 15 minutes I lost the shakey, stomach nerves and also slept well. When I forgot to take it woke up in the night as previous feeling anxious, took the drops and able to quit stressing and got back to sleep easily, this was in stark comparison to how I had been coping prior to taking rescue remedy.

Initially sceptical? A convert now! Hi Anita Thank you for sharing your experience of Rescue Remedy. I use remedy drops for flying, have done for several years. In my eyes they are a life saver, give me that calm feeling, have to use them a few times but I can honestly say I would be a wreak without them. Hi Annemarie Thanks for your comment. Whatever the method of action, if they help you cope better with the anxiety of flying, that can only be positive. Hi Demi Not in my experience. Maybe someone else reading this has felt that? I have taken Bach remedys throughout the years, also the Bush Flower essences. I have a little china box of them by the bed. The concentration not to drop it because it bounces away across the floor. But it often is the thing that calms me and sends me back to sleep. Hi Kate Thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts. I personally think that what you say makes a lot of sense where the ritual part and little intervention are concerned.

That sounds kind of like the placebo effect in action to me, which is fine if it works! You can use it as often as a few drops every minutes until you can work out of the repeating thought patterns. Just thought I would mention! Warm regards.

Albuterol side effects: Can I avoid them? - Mayo Clinic

Hi Bob Thanks for sharing your experience. My anxiety has manifested into physical sickness so everything crossed it does. My high-anxiety female Lab suffers terribly when fireworks or thunder are going on. A half a dropper of Rescue Remedy puts her at ease — sometimes she even falls asleep during a thunder storm. Not a placebo effect at all.

My experience

I never get to sleep without something to help :. Hi Pamela Thanks for your comment. Lucky dog that it helps them! It would be nice if all dog owners had a way to keep their dog calm during fireworks, as I know how stressful it can be for them. Being familiar with many sleeping medications, and having tried many, I am not very suggestible. However, I gave the melts a try, and they do seem to work for me, which was a surprise. Hi Lyndsay Thanks for your comment! For me it works very well. And I took rescue sleep and I could sleep better than with melatonin. No side effects. It works amazing! The Rescue Remedy night gels did seem to help me but I never felt well the next day felt fatigued and a bit anxious… do any of these ingredients tend to make you tired? I tried the pastilles, they made me so tired. I have got the spray now — works well, no tiredness just feel relaxed. Makes no sense. Your review is great. Hi Ranee Thanks for your comment and compliment.

And also thanks for sharing that interesting point! It was recommended by a veteranarian for my daughters friend, when her dog got ran over and it helped her dog very much. Taker Check with a homeopathic veterinarian. That is how I discovered it for myself. A review of studies evaluating the evidence for claims made by Bach flower remedies was published in All six placebo-controlled trials failed to demonstrate any differences between flower remedies and placebos. Listed medicines are assessed by the TGA for quality and safety, but not efficacy. However, to ensure advertising remains truthful, valid and not misleading, medicines invoking traditional claims are recommended to include a statement that the product has no backing scientific evidence. No such warning exists on the flower remedy products, despite the lack of scientific evidence. So if a drop of something on your tongue that tastes pleasant allows you to stop and relax for a second, then you might find rescue remedy works for you.
