      For the past 3 weeks I have had trouble sleeping, concentrating, motivating myself, my stomach is sometimes upset, I feel like a wobbling top that's about to crash.

      Treatments

      I was a mess when I went in, when I left I was much more calm. I can't afford to get it a s much as I need it.
      Breathing Exercises Working / Worked
      Valerian Working / Worked
      1 or 2 "OO" capsules at night helps me get to sleep. 1 capsule once or twice a day helps me stay calm and focus. It can cause sleepiness.
