Title: kudzu extract
Post by Charlotte on May 3^rd, 2006, 8:57pm

I just ordered the liquid kudzu extract from iherb.

Has anyone ever tried it as an abortive? That will be my first experiment.

I did overnight shipping & it was there when I got home Friday, which was a bad day - every hour. I started out with 2 ml at 6:00 pm, & 1 ml later. Saturday was hit every 1 1/2 hour. I tried 1/2 ml for the 1st 4 hits, then 1 ml for 2 more hits.

Skpped Sunday & used maxalt. Today, I've used 2 ml at 5:00 am & 2 ml at 11:30 am, & will use 2 ml at 7:00 pm. 2 ml works best.

I haven't gone over a kip 5 today and I haven't felt compelled to watch the clock.

I'm still using 5 mg Paxil.

My goal is to make it through the day without Maxalt (although I do have it in my pocket), and then another day without maxalt, and so on.

My coworker said she can tell I'm feeling better and my eyes aren't glazed over today.

No, it won't work as an abortive. I was wondering about that. But it is making a difference and is definitely worth trying.

I got 4 bottles so it will last awhile & I can use regular shipping next time.
