      Hi Byrdlady!

      Calms Forte is available at CVS and Walgreen's....I could not find it at Target, have never looked at Walmart. it is generally cleverly concealed on a low shelf near the other over the counter sleep aids...I often have to ask for it.

      When I take it in the evening, before bedtime, it mostly works just fine. If I wake EARLY, as in 4 or 5 am, and take it then, I think it gives me peculiar dreams...so now I just go ahead and get up EARLY. Which actually then helps me to get to sleep a little earlier the following night.

      Oh, and it costs about seven dollars, so not a huge investment. Homeopathy is still beyond me, but, whatever works, and is nonaddictive! The fewer meds we can get away with, the better, IMO.

      Hope it helps! FF

        Thanks so much...I will check it out!! I've wasted $7 on a bad lunch, so for a few good nights of sleep I will happily fork over 7 bucks! ZZZZ, B

          LOL when I first started, I was following the supplement schedule in Roberta's book. It called for taking Calms Forte a few times throughout the day. Then when I went to re-fill my weekly pill box, I found the updated (2007 I think) schedule, which only had you taking it later in the day. No wonder I was constantly tired! Now I only take it before bed, and not even every night! I'm amazed at how well it works. I've even seen it in the supermarket!
          Well the 1st are the hardest days don't you worry anymore.

              I've used Hyland's Calms Fort? off & on for yrs & it's been out there a while. Known others who've said they feel super drowsy in am. Then I asked how many pills & they took 2-3. Also have used Original Rescue Remedy, Rescue Sleep, by Bachflower. I like the Calms Fort? for sleep better, but one pill only, late at night is enough & only occasional use. For myself Rescue Remedy is OK for mild anxiety, like test taking, speeches, etc.

              I think there may be more detail of these products archived in holistic section.

              I've also saved money by joining certain groups, 1st time buyers & buying products in bulk, promo codes.

                The problem with benzodiazepines like Xanax, Valium, Librium, etc. is that they are addicting. Actually I like your remedy of the herbal teas for a healthier anti-anxiety regimine. Dave mentioned Calme-Forte as well and I have heard that is very good too. The more natural, the healthier is how I feel.

                Eve, can you tell me why 'natural' is non addictive vs. a benzo? I will share some articles with you at a later time as I'm quite tired right now. I wanted to respond to my thirty day thread because everyone was so kind and to this because I wanted to bring some thoughts to this issue. I used to be an all natural anti-drug person, but I've learned some things along the way. Remember, natural isn't regulated either. It can come from anywhere. Also, check out how these 'natural' substances work in the brain compared to a drug. Then think about why one is addictive and one is not? Hint: Alcohol is addictive because of how it reacts on the receptors in the brain. How do natural herbs work? How about Ativan? Passionflower and/or valerian root...how does it work?

                Be back again.

                Be well.

                  Wanted to chime in briefly regarding the calms forte. When I started the whole MWO program , that particular part of the regime ease only one I had a lot of trouble with. It gave me very strange dreams like farfalla mentioned and it also seemed to raise my anxiety level.

                  I stopped it immediately and went back to normal. I know people have had much success with and I'm jealous ! I hate not sleeping well

                  Well, just wanted to add my 2 cents.

                    Calms Forte works really well for me as well, and I did see it at Target this week for the first time, I also got it on Amazon for a very good price, and it is not at all expensive to start. I also only take it if I go to bed on time, one if it is normal night - up to three if stress is high and I know that sleep will be a problem.
                    All the research I did has not shown any indication of addictive properties, it is just chamomille, it is made by Hyland which has a established reputation...

                      On the natural vs chemical topic... Be advised that Ativan does pretty much the same thing that alcohol does. It's useful to taper off alcohol safely but is not a long term solution - your liver is better, but your brain is in the same spot as when you were drinking.

                      "Natural" is not always better - nature makes some incredibly deadly poisons, after all! Whoever decided nature was somehow on our side?!? To sleep, I use Ativan occasionally and herbal remedies/teas occasionally, but my goal is to not need either too often!

                      Everything in moderation... isn't that the point of this forum anyway?

                        Just saw your note and no time to reply now as I'm checking the site quickly before work but you've stimulated my brain so will get back to you. You are right about the naturals not being regulated like FDA meds. Sometimes too, herbal drugs will interact with pharmaceuticals. Have a story to tell re that later.
