Please be aware that alternative medications are medications and may interact with what you're already taking.  As well, before taking any meds recommended by friends, family and strangers on the internet, you should thoroughly research the suggestion yourself and speak to your doctor to see if it's right for you.

You should also be aware that placing your e-mail address on a website such as this will leave you vulnerable to spam bots. As well, you will probably have noticed that the responses by the person who replied to your question and suggested a specific remedy have been deleted - they were a violation of our terms of service.  When someone recommends something specifically and gives you their e-mail address, chances are they are trying to sell a product. This is why it's important that you do independent research to support any recommendations that people may give you.
