I tried this for a week. It's like taking a sleeping pill. You don't have the desire to do ANYTHING. It may block cortisol better than cytadren, but if all you want to do is sleep, then you won't be productive in anything. Cytadren, on the other had, blocks cortisol, drys you out & doen't mess with your energy levels. Another reason, why ALR's theories look good on paper, but not in real life.
