In reply to What's the new consensus on Relora?, posted by NoMotic on November 23, 2003, at 15:20:45
> I've done a lot of research on Relora in the past few weeks, and it appears to effect a lot of the receptors and hormones I am most interested in: lowers cortisol, raises DHEA, effects serotonin reuptake. To me this is exactly what I need, since one of my key symptoms is extreme sensitivity to caffeine (to me indicating strong cortisol / glucocorticoid feedback failure). I need something to lower stress hormone levels, I've theorized. Yet, when I bought Relora, I found myself actually too sedated for my enjoyment and a bit moody (in a tired way) and decided to stop only after several days. I plan on restarting it again to give it the full test, but what's everyone else's opinion on this? So far, from what I've read from other people taking it, the advertisements make it seem 200% better than it is. What do you think?
I'm pretty sure Relora is a Western version of the traditional Chinese remedy Banxia-houpu, but I might be wrong about that. Relora was found to cause 24% incidence of daytime sedation in human trials.
Try a lower dose, and work up, would be my advice.
