What is your daily dosage of vitex? I take 1600mg daily (what it says on the bottle) but this seems to be quite a high dosage according to my research. All the sites Ive been on recommend 400mg daily and sometimes lower. How much do you ladies take?

When I was taking it I took 1600mg a day and from what I've heard most people say on here, they do as well. Like you said, it's what the bottle recommends and is therefore the safe and usual dose. I think moreso with the other herbs people experiment with sometimes taking more or less than what the bottle says, but not really with vitex.

I used to take 1200mg a day. Taking 1600mg gave me slight bleeding every single time. About three weeks ago, I cut down to 800mg, after I discovered I got more breast pains that way.

Thanx ladies. I'll stick with 1600mg and just see how it goes. Moonkissed, I think vitex effects everyone differently because I suffered a slight rash which is a side effect of vitex but it's gone now. Just hope the side effects stop right there!

Glamma I think you might be right about the Vitex effecting everyone differently. When I up my dosage over 800 mg, each time I get really jittery, don't know how else to explain it. I also don't know if its a listed side effect or not, but for me its not one I like. So I just stick with two vitex a day and I am fine.
