> P.S. Have you just started the lex? Any side effects?Yes, I started the Lexapro but I'm still apprehensive about it. I have taken so many meds, Lexapro included and although some provide mild relief, the side effects drive me crazy, especially the weight gain. So I may stop it and give L-Tryptophan (good quality non-contaminated) a try. I have been reading up on it and found a couple articles that sparked my interest. I know is a long shot but at this juncture, all I can do is try it and if it fails, I'll dump it in the wastebasket along with all the other failed trials of medications, vitamins, herbs, shakes, magnets and God knows what else. I included below the links to two interesting articles on L-Tryptophan.
Also I read in Prevention magazine that White button mushrooms prevent the synthesis of estrogen.
