User Reviews for sceletium

Sceletium Tortuosum just works. I am a massive overthinker, and Sceletium helps me get back to earth and allows me to think much more reasonable.

It just works!!!!!! Here's what it feels like, First short lived Euphoria, than comes the tranquility, anti anxiety, and than significant analgesic effects throughout the whole body. Its subtle and strong at the same time. 20 year survivor of major depressive disorder here, and other things like burn out, chronic fatigue, caregiver syndrome, cptsd etc...... Or generally just feeling like shit all the time. Some of the reviews here are misinformed, you owe it too yourself to give it a try. If it did not work for you, you probably got bad product. Read below for basic sourcing and use guidelines. Healing herbals, nasal spray or sublingual extract is a good place to start. Check out the kanna reddit page for Good sources of Kanna, Get an extract, its more reliable and potent. You might have a lack luster experience if your just taking raw kanna leaves. The same goes for taking it orally, as in swallowing/consuming it. You'll have a much better experience doing sublingual or nasal spray. It can be more sedative or more energizing, based on the ratio to mesembrine to mesembrone in the extract. If it does not work for you, you either got a bad product, did not dose it properly, or the alkali profile is not right for you. Don't give up, try a different product. This stuff really works. Smaller doses of 25mg to 50mg, spaced 2-4 days apart is best. Less is more with this stuff. If you take 200mg+ in a single setting or day, its just going to make you lethargic. Small doses on the other hand, create energy wakefulness, mild pain relief, and happiness. Its an ssri so it might take 2 to 3 days of dosing until you really prime your system and get your serotonin levels up.Read More Read Less

Increased alertness, focus, awareness. Very sharp and completely on point. I feel positive and very light. I love this supp

it is possible that Anonymous used too much for her son and husband. research this term: "micro dosing"

I experience depression with extreme low mood and ADD with heavy executive dysfunction and time blindness. Started taking Zembrin Sceletium in another blend and ended up trying it on its own. It totally works!!! First 2 days I was taking it, I got like 4 tasks done that I'd been procrastinating on for months. And not all in one go, either. I was able to switch between them reliably all day (which is a HUGE thing for me). Helps with energy, focus, task orientation & planning, and boosts executive function. Lent it to my roommate (also ADHD) and she experienced something similar. Gonna keep taking it for a while!Read More Read Less

Tried it on my husband for his blues cycles that he sometimes has... instead of improving... it actually caused something similar to a bipolar episode, never seen anything like it... never again! Glad it works for others.

Tried low doses sublingually on several occasions. Not much besides nausea or no effect at all. Tried it recently and got very sleepy mid day. Overall, an Inconsistent or unpleasant outcome when using kanna and I wouldn’t recommend it for most people.

I was the PI in a randomized double blind placebo control trial that proved its safety and effectiveness in increasing executive functions in normal volunteers. The study was not for exercise performance. We are the second study to prove safety so webmd has not done its homework. Yes, there can be interactions with any medication that increases serotonin.

It obviously works for some people but definitely not for others. Gave sceletium to my son and husband and have never seen them in a worse mood - terrible terrible effect on mood swings and will never touch this stuff again!!!

Felt a difference the 2nd day. Very subtle, no sort of high as with zanex or other pharmaceutical antidepressants, just realized i did not feel so depressed or anxiety ridden, just felt normal, pleasant and calm. No side effects that I notice, though I am new with taking this supplement. So far, very nice, very helpful, seems to work for me.

I smoked for 45 years and had quit for 5 days when a recurring and stressful situation occurred. Bound and determined not to start smoking, but knowing I needed help, I went to Garner's and explained the situation. They asked me if I was on any SSRIs. I said no and they recommended fermented kanna. I followed their directions and it worked immediately. I will definitely use it in the future

This has been God-sent. It is one thing that has helped change my life. I take a little throughout most every day. Dosage: ~50-100 mg at a time; no more than 1 g per day; most days I use it 2-3 times

Great in tea, snuff or water pipe. This website lacks a dangerous interaction risk of this drug. Do not take it within 2 weeks of taking an MAOI or SSRI drug at all.

Generally stressed out and found my system getting low with build up stress over time - agiatation, anxiety and poor sleep. Took some plain herb capsules(ordered sceletium.za.net). First day within 30 minutes started to feel extreme destressing and calming, the destress was so strong I had to sit down & take deep breaths but I really felt it working. Slept like a baby that night. Woke up a different person, now take it every day and my stress levels stay much more manageable and my wife says Im much less grumpy! :) I love this stuff!!Read More Read Less

It stopped my anxiety disorder completely , took away my irritable bowel and bladder symptoms completely as well. I had tried prescribed medications and non worked.

I suffer from high stress levels and as a result insomnia and anxiety. I tried a few but finally sourced some from the "Sceletium" page on FB. The effects of the extract were a dramatic stress release, I feel more grounded when i take it daily and I now dont go without! I have given some to a friend for her social phobia and she is very happy too. Overall I can highly reccomend this friendly plant.
