Lavender extract is about as effective as klonopin according to a study.

I use it to deal with my anxiety.

I don’t trust benzos in the slightest. Especially so after reading the horrors of this thread.

It sounds a fantastic claim, but I'll read up a bit on it so thanks.

Must admit though I've not had any drug - prescribed or illicit - that had a more immediate and powerful effect on my anxiety than a benzodiazepine (granted I've not tried heroin before!).

Thankfully they are incredibly hard to get prescribed where I live due too all the above associated dangers.
