I don't think sublingual would make a difference really. I'm not sure which brand you're using, the Spring Valley one I got originally said 1 teaspoon and it was 5g or 5000mg, which is actually quite a lot. I'd only had 1g of the gel caps when I made this post though I guess I had used a teaspoon-ish around 12 hours before and maybe there was some level of stacking going on.
Most people that I've read dilute it with honey, it does work well this way. I'd see if you feel any level of elation from the recommended dose. Tolerance to some of the positive effects does build, so it might be wise to take more on a day with particularly bad anxiety.
Again YMMV, it won't work the same for everybody, similar to L-theanine I suppose. Some find it incredibly useful for anxiety, depression, etc. but I only ever found minimal relief from it. To those black seed oil does work for, it works really, really well and you can find quite a few reddit posts talking about this. I took my first amount of my thymoquinone powder (the main ingredient) -- an extract I bought from an online vendor, and I slept better than I've slept in about 5 months. Sure enough, I see a study about how it improves sleep quality. There's no coincidence there, I mean I haven't felt this refreshed in so long. I've been an insomniac mess for months on end. As far as what brand is better I really have no idea, I'd think the oil is just the oil and that's it, but I can't really say.
I don't know why I stopped taking it, it's almost like I forgot about it completely until replies to this thread have come about a lot recently, but otherwise I did have plans to take it sometimes and would forget. The powder is extremely harsh, thing the taste/burn of fireball multiplied by 100, and I kept forgetting to buy juice or something because it's critical to mix with something like that. That vendor does have capsules but they're more expensive. I see one post on reddit about using the powder sublingual but that sounds impossible. I mean, this guy must have zero sense of taste lol. Though he used tiny amounts, like 30mg which would be very, very little. I only found one other post about using the actual oil sublingual and someone said it sped things up a little but there isn't really much on this.
