Trio Nervous Wreck (30 Patches)

****2nd Update May 2024**** Still staying stocked up! Life has been crazy the past year! My best friend suddenly lost her husband while we were finishing up our last semester of RN, and I was determined not to let her fall! We completed LPN together in 2019 so this was OUR goal together. I am happy to announce we made it and graduated May 2023. She took a break but I went head on into a DON position (24/7 stress), then hospital setting and travel nursing. February thru May, I had been feeling it creep up, but ultimately pushed it aside. Then one day the panic hit me in the face. It was to the point I couldn’t catch my breath (air hunger). I literally thought I developed sudden asthma or something but my O2 was fine (99-100%). On went the patches and started my personal supplement regimen based on my own s/s. I added 500mg NAC and noted that the air hunger almost immediately subsided…weird, but I am NOT complaining. Plus, I can breathe! ******Update October 2022****** I just restocked and I still swear by these. Due to recent ongoing personal issues I developed sudden crippling panic attacks. In September while at work it hit me out of nowhere. I was highly debating calling an ambulance for myself. It has been years since I have felt anxiety on that level! (Working through it I have been able to pinpoint a lot of it). I have only used these as needed and recently these have helped me get back to feeling normal again. I put one on at night and another one on in the morning, then I replace the first one with a new one at night (while keeping the 2nd one on) and do the same in the morning (so I always have 2 on). The chest is where I find that I have the best absorption. I also use the inner upper arm sometimes but I have noticed when removing them I tend to develop small bruises. I hope to get back to using just as needed again. ****Original**** If you are reading this review, healthcare has probably let you down too… I am a 34 year old female. I have suffered from generalized/situational anxiety since I was a child. I have times when I am great, other times I am barely functional. I have learned to cope but sometimes I have been left bed ridden for days because the anxiety becomes so crippling! My anxiety is typically racing thoughts and over thinking. So getting out of my own head and/or slowing down the racing thoughts is no easy task. I have done on/off therapy over the years but nobody really seemed to truly understand what I was going through or how to manage without wanting to push medications which were typically always antidepressants… When my older sister passed away when I was 19 I reluctantly agreed to try medication…but I would develop s/s of serotonin syndrome every single time because I did not have an issue with my serotonin levels like they tried to convince me of. Ugh. I am a very happy person, always have been, just occasionally anxious! I do not agree with medicating every problem. I am huge on natural whenever possible. Always do your own research and speak with your healthcare provider prior to starting/stopping any treatment. I developed my own regimen that works for me: I take (1-2) Holy Basil (Tulsi) by now brands and (3-5) Gotu Kola by Natures Way every morning which typically keeps the anxiety at bay. When I feel the anxiety ramping up (situational) I add these patches to my daily routine. I place two on either the inner arm or on my chest. It does not take long for them to work either! This combo helps me stay functional! I am able to focus on simple tasks easier and organize my thoughts better. I play with the doses as needed without serious side effects. I truly hope this review helps someone else!

I was skeptical about these patches, but also kind of desperate. I have anxiety that comes from out of nowhere and it is unpredictable. It can be severe, but is usually just a very nervous kind of anxiety that is very uncomfortable. I use stress gummies of various brands that work pretty good, but I have been waking up anxious and the gummies aren't on board and would hurt my empty tummy, so I wake up too early and it starts my day off rough. I have put these patches on 5 times. They seem to work as well as the gummies but last longer. I woke up early this morning with medium to almost panic anxiety and put a patch on. I am in bed, feeling much calmer and feel like I can go back to sleep. It was a marked difference after I put the patch on. I dont think this would work amazing during a panic attack, but it would probably help. I think these are better for low grade to medium anxiety.

I bought this for my daughter and I. We both have extreme Panic Disorder and normal anti depressants don't work for me and don't work enough for my daughter. I put on the patch and immediately started having weird issues like tightness in my chest and throat. Weird but not dangerous. I pushed through and started having anxiety issues...i thought "so it doesn't block all my anxiety. We didn't really expect it to, did we. Push through!" Half way through the day I'm crying and shaking and I have become the nervous wreck named on the patch. My daughter says "take it off Mom I haven't seen you this bad in a while!" So I did. It took two days to get out of my system. Complete fail. 1/5 stars. My daughter puts on the patch. No weird symptoms. I ask if it's working. She replies either it's working or it's just a Saturday and there's less to worry about! But as the day progresses she leaves her room more. She smiles more. After 8 hours the patch wears off and she crashes. And loses it. Can't sleep that night because of insomnia. Apparently it was working very well. She now says she can't live without it and takes it morning and night. 5/5 stars. I gave it four stars instead of splitting the difference and giving it three stars because I just ordered another set for my daughter. Because it's THAT good for her. So when it works it really really works, but when it doesn't, it's horrid. Sadly this means every person is different and you'll have to shell out the money to try it for yourself.

I have ordered more than one type of patch from this company. The live chat staff at their mother site VICIwellness.com are incredibly helpful. These Amazon exclusive products are convenient with Prime, but support from the mother company is available and valuable. The patches can be a bit difficult to remove from the backing and hard to get out of hair if misplaced on your neck. But the adhesive is non irritating and very firm - these patches do not fall off your clean skin. The nervous wreck are helpful to take the edge off and concentrate. I cut these patches into quarters and they are VERY effective. My severe textbook ADHD son used 1/4 of the Scatter Brain while helping with a construction project at home - after about 4 hours he said Mom, I've got to take this off, I'm laser focused on sweeping - these will be good for school, but I can't wear it for this job. I very highly recommend anything from this company. We will continue to order. dn
