This sounds familiar. Thank you for the information. I have dropped

caffeine before without problems, and I can't really think of a good

reason to keep it in my life now. I do like tea, and perhaps can

indulge in that on occasion. But for now, time to give the body some

rest from it all.

Sorry this response is so late. I'm going through old unanswered posts and

came across this. I'm using Thorne's " Cortine " . For my dog I'm using

Standard Process' Drenatrophin PMG, which seems to work better than Cortine

for her.
