Provigil

User Ratings:
8.1	Effectiveness
4.8	Side Effects
8	Holistic Benefits

Provigil is an effective medicine in fighting the drowsiness associated with narcolopsy. However, it is incredibly expensive. (close to 450$ per month before insurance and still 90$ after insurance every month!)

I have been taking Effexor XR in combination with Lexapro for 5 years. Recently deciding to fast and cleanse I stopped taking both meds. Please do not stop abrubtly as I did.

Vitamin B1

User Ratings:
3.5	Effectiveness
1.7	Side Effects
4.7	Holistic Benefits

Beginning in August, I started taking Super B-complex supplement which also contained Vitamin C and by october I stopped bleeding. The vitamin B helped the liver to absorb the excess estrogen in my body. I was bleeding for five months straight with pieces as large as chicken livers until trying this supplement,. I am now 51 and I have not had a period in seven months. I have no estrogen surges, no fiborcystic breasts, I feel good and just have some night sweats.

Lybrel

7.8	Holistic Benefits

Ive been on Lybrel for around 7 months and its been good. In the beginning I had no spotting but instead i had HUGE mood swings, I would get extremely mad about nothing.

It then stopped for maybe a month or so...then started back up and has been on going for about two months-ish. Though Ive been spotting cons... View full comment

Xanax

User Ratings:
6.8	Effectiveness
5.3	Side Effects
7.3	Holistic Benefits

I have a very hectic and stressful life - Xanax brings a peace and calm to me that I cannot naturally develop. It allows me to keep my life balance and has definitely helped me out greatly. The only down side is that I have to be careful mixing alcohol with the drug. It's not pretty when you do!
