Well, I got it through the supplement/nutraceuticals company that I do freelance consulting for. We are working on an anxiolytic product that, when we are finally done with this, will probably rival a low dose of a benzodiazepine. The gastrodin monomer is rather expensive as far as those things go, so we will probably not be using it. However, look on the web (froogle.google.com) for "gastrodia compound granule" or something like that; that is what is traditionally used in TCM and I believe has a sort of sustained-release effect.
Also, there is a chinese company which makes something called "acetagastrodin" (I believe it is really acetylgastrodin) which is 2x as potent as gastrodin. In china (and many countries around the world), gastrodin is an actual drug; you can get it in tabs and ampoules for injection(!).
