Advantages: Sleep improved, easy to take, no unpleasant side effects

Disadvantages: None that I've found

A friend recommended Lanes Quiet Life to me because I have been going through a very stressful experience and couldn't seem to switch off and relax, let alone sleep. I'd tried CD-Roms, relaxation tapes, incense, lavender oil, peaceful meditations (all of which usually work for me) without success. Even now that the stressful experience is over, I was so tightly wound up, I just couldn't let go. I had been avoiding all valerian containing herbal supplements as I'd found that Kalms tended to make me feel very depressed but not calmer, and for some reason I thought the valerian was to blame.

Quiet life was a completely different experience. It said take 2 after a meal with a glass of water. I took only one tablet, just to see if it made me feel depressed, not actually expecting any benefit. At no time did I feel drousy or sleepy but I lay down to watch an 'aquarium' video I'd bought the same day in a charity shop. I woke up 3 hours later! That was 2 weeks ago. I have taken them on and off over ever since. On the days I have taken them I feel calmer and I certainly sleep much better. On the days I don't take them I experience a gradual 'welling up' of anxiety (I know from experience that this will lead to a full blown panic attack, which I use Bachs 'Rescue Remedy' for) and it takes me longer to fall asleep for shorter periods of time.

I have experienced no negative side effects at all and not a hint of depression. The only reason I have not taken them regularly is that I am afraid that I will get used to them and they will stop being so effective. Does anyone know if this is the case?

Summary: Wonderful. Will recommend them to my GP.
