> Oh yeah, and Larry - I was wondering if you've had any experience with "alternative" anxiotylics like valerian, kava, and particularly l-theanine. I've heard that most valerian and kava preparations don't work since they contain very little of the active chemicals needed. Are there any good brands? Anybody else know?
