Hello. I’ve never taken them. It’s worth asking a pharmacist about it, but here’s an overview of lemon balm, the main ingredient, with side effects and interactions as known at present. Not to be used with thyroid problems.

Are you getting any help, talking or medical, with your anxiety?

Herbal or not - you do need to speak to the pharmacist to be sure it doesn't interact with your other medication.

Hi I've tried a few. The herbal type help a little. The stronger over the counter pills help a lot - I'm getting a much better quality of sleep as a result.

Best way to use any sleep aid, herbal or otherwise, is as a way to break bad sleep pattern and re-establish a good sleep pattern. I think the effectiveness of all of them wear off when taken for any length of time.

Have you tried warm milk with a teaspoon of honey and a topping of cinnamon and nutmeg? Along with a banana if hungry, I go back to sleep easily.
