    Default Vitex (chasteberry)

    Angie and Lisa - I read in another thread that you are both taking this herb. I am very interested in learning more about your experience with Vitex. I am 59, have been on hormones for, I don't know how many, years and would love to get off of them. Every time I try to even back off, night sweats return, which means little sleep. Do you think Vitex would help? Would you take Vitex AND hormones at first? Then back off the hormones after a couple of months? I think I read that it may take 3 months before any effect is seen. Please advise. I really look forward to your thoughts.

    Gwen

    Gwen, I just started taking it a few weeks ago, so I haven't noticed any difference yet. I do take progesterone too, which used to work for me, but I recently lost 30 pounds and the night sweats have returned. I would also like to get off of bio-identicals, so that's why I decided to give vitex a try. Hopefully Angie will see this and comment.

    I'm in the same boat with you all and would like to know if this works. I'll be staying tuned!

    Started T-Tapp in July 2010 after searching for a good strengthening/stretching/flexibility workout. I think I found it!

    I take progessence plus from Young Living and many have seen amazing results. I have no night sweats so I don't know but I was low progesterone and it is helping.

    I used to take it more regularly and thought it helped then. I know Teresa said her alfalfa helped with night sweats, as well as no carbs before bed.
