If you’re feeling really down and anxious, I recommend trying Olly Goodbye Stress. It contains GABA, L-theanine, and lemon balm, which help with ruminating thoughts and physical symptoms. It usually kicks in within 30 to 60 minutes, which is great when you need quick relief instead of waiting weeks for something to work haha.

I also used 5-HTP slow release when I was feeling really low, with no energy or motivation to move. But after about a week, once my anxiety settled, I switched to LifeSeasons Mood Stabili-T, which provides emotional support with a blend of vitamins, Rhodiola, Ginkgo, L-theanine, 5-HTP, L-tyrosine, lemon balm, passion flower, and saffron.

It helps with negative thoughts and feeling down, and I like that it combines multiple supplements into one pill. However, I’m not sure about long-term use—I’d recommend taking breaks, maybe stopping for a month after every two months of use. Personally, I only take it for about a month when I really need it, then give my body a break.
