The tyrosine doesn't seem to kick in until the next day - energy wise. Could be that with the length of time I've been using it, that it is kicking in sooner. Doesn't jazz me up for a couple of hours at least. Wake up better when I take it before bed. I live in Tampa - near Clearwater - but...

Wow - VERY interesting! Come to think of it, I've been taking 1000 mgs l'tyrosine before bed and maybe that's what's causing it. I've found it gives me wonderful energy the next day and does nice things for my "symptomatic hypothyroidism". (You know, where you have the symptoms but your...

Yep, Yohimburn works. Used it with a basically ketotype diet and lost about half of what I had, and am working on the rest. Lots of water and skin brushing helps, too. I didn't have ANY - not a speck of cellulite - til I had kids. Damned estrogen! Though I am not any bigger than pre-kids, I...

You know, I've been waking up soaked in sweat during the last couple of weeks - not every morning, but more than ever before. And I live in Florida. It doesn't wake me up, but I swear my jammies weight about 4 pounds from sweat and my hair is soaked. NOTHING wakes me up. : ) I figured...

MrsPuddles - Yeah - it starts on the belly around the age of andrarche, which is sort of like "puberty for the adrenals" - when DHEA starts being used for body growth, rather than brain growth. And it starts in the belly, but is necessary for the production of estrogen - once the estrogen...

Speaking as a parent with a candidate for ritalin, I found that decreasing his complex carbs & deleting his sugar, as well as matching protein & fiber to any carbs did amazing things to attitude and behavior! I mean, amazing! Also found that supplementing with salmon oil worked very well also...

From what I understand, from a girlfriend that got "caught" it is ineffective when on antibiotics. You might want to monitor actual ovulation (around 12-16 days after first day of period) and just avoid having sex during that period of time. Fawn

I'm the only woman I know that ever lost weight on depo. On the other hand, I had no sex drive either. I was beginning to believe that was it's mechanism. I did, however, gain about 30 pounds in 6 weeks on BC pills. I think it might be a good idea to look at an IUD - I've heard they are...

Sorry i didn't answer this before - kind of fell off there for a while. I used Solaray brand combo of Dong Quai/Damiana. 215 mgs each per capsule. Instructions say take 1 -2 twice per day, which I did. And indeed, made me ridiculously and constantly horny. I didn't have any weight issues...

Russell Stover sugar free pecan clusters. Just 2. Lots of fat - but no real carbs. (sugar alcohol) Fawn

Totally dumb, but anecdotal - I ALWAYS get a salty taste in my mouth when receiving injections or getting blood drawn. Don't know why - always happens, always has happened. It is during the actual shots and for a little while afterwards. Maybe it's a symptom or sideline of that subset of...

Sounds a lot like low blood sugar, hypoglycemia. I do my cardio in the early evening around 6 PM (no time in the AM) and need a snack around 3 or 4 or I end up the same way. Even had a full fledged anxiety attack in the middle, once, because I missed my 4 PM feeding. Have had reactive...

Yohimburn is the only thing that has ever worked on my cellulite. Still have some to go, but it's gotten rid of about half of what I had. Fawn

It's a BIG no-no. Your body temperature already goes up when pregnant (along with blood volume and pressure) - don't add to it. No-nos are tanning beds, hot tubs and whirlpools. Apparently overheating increases the chances of birth defects. Besides - why add more stress to already stressed...

DEPO DEPO DEPO!!!! EEEeeeevvviiillll! Totally killed my sex drive whenever I have used it. I was beginning to think that was how it worked to prevent pregnancy. I have high androgen levels (PCOS) and have always been notoriously oversexed for a woman. Even then, DEPO turned me into some...
