HB,

Thanks for the links. One caution I would put out there though is that, for the most part, these are blogs and consumer reviews. Even the positive one, didn't offer enough information to evaluate the data (eg., what criteria were used to select participants?) Even though the blogs seem informed, repeated information is often distorted or even misunderstood by the 2nd author.

Now, unfortuanely, there aren't a lot of alternatives out there for true scientific data published in medical journals for this medication. I quick search of google scholar turned up one-ish article that addressed the efficacy of the drug (and I couldn't see the full article, just the abstract).

At the end of the day though, it doesn't matter if it works for only 1% of people, if you are the patient and you are in that one percent, that's pretty much all that matters.

Best,
EJ
Thanks for this!
