Passionflower is fast acting in the same way I've found chamomile et al. In the past, I've taken passionflower capsules and sipped on chamonmile tea from Tim Hortons while waiting to board the plane, and to great effect I might add.
It wears off fairly quickly too (a few hours maybe), I'm assuming when it metabolizes. So it's not like a long-term therapeutic thing like ginseng or gingko it, which may take weeks for them to kick in and a while to wear off when you stop.
They're basically sedatives.
