What we may not realize is that we are slowly starting to get addicted to the medicine. There are also a lot of side effects in stress pills that leads us to other problems. So instead of a stress-free life, your new problems bring about new headaches.
There are alternative medications you can take for your stress problems. They are natural and organic medicines, and since they come from herbs, have less side effects than conventional pills.
