Have anybody tried this herb for SP? I have found this on this page http://www.tongkatali.net/mucunapruriens.html
"The reason i started using macuna pruriens was complex social problems. I maintained a social life only because it was better than having no friends. I avoided people as match as possible for instants I did most of my work from home saying that I liked it that way, but I really didn’t. Like most people I have a strong interest for the opposite sex, yet I couldn’t build a healthy relationship with a girl. I really didn’t feel any thing for the girls I met, as a consequence I felt guilty as if I was conning the girl and not being honest. It always ended up with me braking up. In general I felt a constant discomfort being around others yet I was yearning for contact with other people. Taking mucuna pruriens has made me normal I enjoy seeing other people in a new way. If i ever will design a formula for social phobia mucuna pruriens is it! I have tried a number of drugs none has given satisfying results. Yet I’m a bit concerned about side effects naturally I think about the regular Parkinson drugs, synthetic L-dopa for instance, witch clearly is serious stuff. How ever, and I don’t really understand how, natural L-dopa seams to be vary different from the synthetic variant. How can natural L-dopa be free from neurotoxicity? Is its chemical structure actually different from syntetic L-dopa? I have tried clean natural L-dopa in order to evaluate this I compared mucuna with a dose of natural L-dopa that was corresponding to the quantity of L-dopa I estimated would be in the herb. And I must say that the effect was wary much similar."[/url]
 
hmm i'm willing to give this a try. although i live in Australia, so i dunno how i will get my hands on it or if it will be available here, i will try and hunt it down.
 
....a few questions, apart from your own experiance is there any evidence that this herb can be helpful with sp, how did you come about it and why did you decide to try it? how long have you tryed it for, because in my experiance the severity of sp symptoms seems to come and go, we all have better days some times i think.

EDIT: just ordered some off ebay and yeah says help with nervous disorders and depression, also says increases testosterone :lol: didn't really need that but oh well if it helps...

I've never tried this herb. I quote the question to doctor of one guy who tried it and hepled him(read questions on this page http://www.tongkatali.net/mucunapruriens.html). I'm going to try it as well. I hope it's going to help us.
