Lemon Balm calms my anxiety but takes away the benefit of drugs that were stopping my chronic diarrhea because it causes diarrhea. It also stopped the benefits of drugs that were helping my chronic Fatigue. I found myself exhausted still the next morning. The only dose I could tolerate was 1/4 capsule and still be able to function. It has a sedative effect that made me unable to care properly for my visiting grandchildren. Caution - DO NOT plan on using power tools while on this supplement. I had started to feel better on a Chinese herb but once I started Lemon Balm all those benefits disappeared. It's not worth the effort and cost. Keep track of your symptoms and open the pill and pour out what you do not need. I also poured some of the powder into water and it tasted fine - like a lightly flavored tea. The problem was that every time I used it I had to counteract the bad side effects with the Chinese herb. This capsule was Melissa(Lemon Balm) Extract (Melissa officinalis by Time Laboratories.200 mg.

This is an update, I couldn't append original review. I've been taking lemon balm for almost three months. The change in how I react and deal with every day issues is amazing. Recently I took time off from work and I realized this is the first time in so many years I didn't sit and fester over issues, worry that I would lose control over my job or don't have an immediate reaction that I'm being conspired against in my absence. Not to say this doesn't happen especially in my company, but with the calmness comes the ability to sift through it all and deal with it confidently so that I don't come off as paranoid or that I'm just out to attack others. And other every day things such as going out into public into places I'd felt uncomfortable in/at has changed. It has also affected how I deal with customers. I'm much easier to interact with and don't get all sound up over service issues. I use lemon balm as well as suntheanine and its a win. I started using theanine first then added the lemon balm, and I'd say the lemon balm is the ringer.

My job has a great deal of anxiety producing stress that seemed to be reaching the point of being unmanageable. I tend to be "anxious" anyways so this wasn't helping. I could feel myself getting way past the point I was comfortable with and was getting worried for myself. I'm trying the lemon balm and the most notable effect so far is I'm able to take deep breaths naturally. I caught myself doing this the other day - just a deep relaxing intake of breath - without forcing myself to when so stressed that you do the breathing exercises. The one I'm using is Nature's Way capusules 500 mg but it wasn't listed here.
