Hey everyone! As a nature photographer, I'm always on the go and dealing with deadlines can get pretty stressful. I've been eyeing these OLLY stress gummies at the store - the ingredients sound interesting with GABA, L-Theanine, and lemon balm. Has anyone actually tried them? Do they help take the edge off after a long day of shooting? I'm curious if they're worth the investment or if I should stick to my usual chamomile tea.

Oh, I've been using these for about 3 months now! As a digital nomad constantly adjusting to new time zones and work pressures, they've been a game-changer for me. I take one in the afternoon when I feel that anxiety creeping in, and within 30-45 minutes I notice I'm more focused and less jittery. The berry flavor is actually pretty good too - not too sweet. My only complaint is the price point - at nearly $20 for 60 gummies, it adds up if you take them daily like I do.

I'm a meditation newbie and bought these hoping they'd help me relax before my evening sessions. Honestly... I'm not sure if they're doing anything? I've been taking one gummy about an hour before meditating for two weeks now, and I don't feel noticeably different. Maybe I need to give it more time? Or maybe my expectations were too high? Has anyone else had a 'meh' experience with these?

Student on a tight budget here! I really want to try these because finals are coming up and my stress levels are through the roof, but $20 for 60 days' worth seems steep. Nancy - you mentioned taking them daily - do you think they're effective enough to justify the cost? Or should I look for cheaper alternatives with similar ingredients? Also, has anyone checked if there are student discounts or bulk deals anywhere?

Thanks for the honest feedback everyone! Nancy, your experience sounds promising for my situation. Lily, sorry they haven't worked for you yet - maybe try taking them consistently at the same time each day? Finn, I feel you on the budget concerns. I did some quick research and found that some stores have them on sale occasionally, and there's a subscription option on their website that gives 15% off. Might be worth checking out!

Finn - to answer your question about cost: for me, yes, they're worth it because they genuinely help me manage work stress without side effects (I tried prescription options years ago and hated how they made me feel). But everyone's different! Maybe buy a small pack first to test? Also, I've noticed they work best when I'm already practicing good stress management - getting enough sleep, staying hydrated, etc. They're not a magic bullet, but a helpful tool in the toolbox!
