Hi Chloe, I’m taking 1,000mg of EPO. I only cut down from 2,000mg a few months ago because I thought I was wasting my money. Actually I was thinking of stopping it, after reading that most people can convert the linoleic acid in regular oils just fine. But my diet sucks now so I’m continuing with the 1000mg. I didn’t know it had estrogenic properties. I’ve read that in women not on the Pill, estrogenic herbs can actually cause the body to decrease its outputs of estrogen (thinking it already has enough). But from the little bit of searching I just did on Google, EPO supposedly enhances the actual production of estrogen....I wonder how that works. Very confusing.
It sucks that even gyns and pdocs aren’t aware of how hormones effect the brain. Actually it sucks in general that docs discount anything that wasn’t in their training. I’m sorry you’re getting that dismissive reaction too. Suicidal feelings should ALWAYS be taken seriously. I hope the Yasmin proves more tolerable for you this time around.
I will try to hang in. I wish a barbituate prescription would far into my lap but, since it doesn’t look like that’s going to happen, I choose life.
Take care,
Beliala
