Catemenial seizures natural progesterone

Sat, 12/22/2012 - 21:06
Hi there I get catemenial seizures each month and tried the natual progesterone cream which started to work after 3 months. My neurologist has put me on the natural progesterone pills and I am wondering if anyone has tried both and which one worked better? So far I have had no luck with the pills except that I sleep like a log which is fantastic. I know they take awhile to kick in but which works more effectively? They prescribed me 200mg x 3 each day for 15 days of my cycle but I cant take this as it sends me to sleep like a lead weight so I take 200mg each day at night everyday hoping that it will slowly build up. Would seriously appreciate to hear from anyone as soon as possible as I need to make a call on one of them. Thanks :)
