> I think Nizoral is used for nail fungal infections and the like. Its known to lower cortisol as one side effect. What else it does who knows. I'm pleased with my response to depression like symptoms with 200mg of Nizoral every 2 weeks.

> Can you please descibe what symptoms are being helped with Nizoral? My doctor has diagnosed me with Candida. I have heard that this drug has been used for this condition. My symptoms include: Major Depression, extreme fatigue, blunted emotions,(probably from the Zoloft), just an overall feeling of illness. Of course to top it all off, my sleeping is miserable! I wake up 6 or 7 times each night. Do you think this med. might help me? Any advise would be greatly appreciated! Thanx!

I took a single dose a couple weeks ago, and so far so good. I suspect by lowering cortisol it adjusts my circadian rythmn. Maybe its doing something else. I just know its working. Keep well, look after yourselves.

I checked a link here (I can't remember who posted it), that had to do with CFS (chronic fatigue syndrome) and it mentioned that >50% of people with CFS are testing positive for Lyme disease now! Is Nizoral prescription only? This isn't the med for green fingernails/toenails is it?
