I use it sometimes. To be
effective you have to take it several times a day to build it up in your system. In other words it's not like an
aspirin. Also, it makes you extremely photosensitive (sunburns easily) and defeats birth control
pills.
However, I found licorice root, consumed in tea or capsule form, can be taken like an aspirin. It
provides an obvious mood boost in 15-20 minutes. It's very good for stage fright. It does increase heart beat a
little.
