Does it work with people who feel test anxiety panic?

If you practice with it, yes it will. basically this device will teach you how to relax by learning to concentrate on doing so but it takes patience and practice. If you are expecting to put this on and relax the first time you try it you will be disappointed. However if you are patient and practice with time it will work very well. I bought one like it many years ago when I was a teen and it taught me how to relax by concentrating on my body and how to relax it. I bought this one for my son and he had limited success with it because he was not patient enough to learn how to use it properly.

This can help you learn to control your anxiety response. The GSR2 isn't a fix like a pill, it's a training tool that will help you to teach yourself to relax. It's bio-feedback. The cd that comes with it teaches you the basics of how to relax deeply. Very easy, but you do need to practice with it. I find that sometimes my hands are so cold that it can't pick up anything heat at all and I have to rub my hands vigorously to get them warm, then I can start. After you learn how to use the GSR, you can then make simple suggestions "while you're down" to help you relax when you're about to test or do a test. I have found it to be very, very helpful in coping with many aspects of this stress-filled. The deep breathing you learn (very quickly) almost becomes almost 2nd nature when tension pops up. It's a powerful tool.

I think it depends on how nervous or stressed you are. I use 2 or 3 sprays and it lasts me several hours or longer...It really works for me.

I haven't used it enough to really give you a good answer! My husband says he thinks it a "mental thing" that I just THINK I feel better after using it but I do feel that there is some relief within a few minutes - a bit tingly upon application (which he says is just distracting - sorry I'm so vague!)

I was very jittery after I took it the first day. Have not taken it again. Has anyone else experienced this?

I believe it would work. I tried it, and it does show whether you are are sharp or flat. I don't think it would work for a group. Hope this helps.

I would take a gamble on it and try it. I am AMAZED at this little gadget. I just bought two more , one for me to keep at the shop and one for my assistant. She is freaked out by how well it works for her too. I get pain in my fingers and numbness in my hand. It totally relieves it all. Try it!

I can't answer that as every body chemistry is different, but I can tell you my cortisol levels are so high they can't even be measured, and this stuff works for me, so I would imagine it would help you.

I got this for my teenager who, at times, gets very stressed/worried/anxious. She feels that it helps. Placebo effect? Maybe, but I'm happy she gets some relief w/o prescription drugs. We also use the Pet version for dog anxiety from car rides (one dog) & thunderstorms (the other). Seems to help them too.

Yes, it does. This device, BTW, is much more than a breathing pacer. If you are "getting coherent" (i.e., getting feedback in the green zone) and you are just breathing and not feeling a positive emotion, you want to up the challenge level. Basically, slow, rhythmic breathing should get you from red into blue; adding positive emotion to the breathing should get you more coherent and thus trigger feedback in the green zone. Hope this helps. (I've been teaching these tools and techniques for 10 years.)

I probably wouldn't recommend it. This is very strong, well for me it was. I took one and felt "high". I was not happy. I was hoping to use it for my anxiety, it just made it worse though by the "high" I was not expecting. I know that they make tea and stuff out of it, maybe if you don't like the pill form you can make the tea :)

I don't know if you can butt I've never used it in my face and probably wouldn't.i use it to calm my son,s anxiety.

I do not suffer from debilitating anxiety so I cannot respond to that. However, my sense of depression has lessoned when I used this light. I can now tell when I have not used it for several days.I wish you well as you explore relief from your symptoms.

Since it did not work at all for the take-home test, I do not trust it for a lab test. I believe that lab tests are more accurate and sensitive, although I don't claim to be an expert on the subject, either... The bottom line for me is it did NOT work twice in a row for the take-home tests, so I had to delay accepting taking a job and a test for several additional weeks. Good luck, but I would be VERY careful and not trust this. I wish I could recommend it, but I just cannot.

I am not sure, as I have never put the anxiety wrap on my dog in the car. She doesn't shake, she just gets car sick. You might justwant to try it, and see if it helps!!!!
