My sister was having excessive bleeding problems and got better on vitex after maybe 2 or 3 months. Vitex works in part by weakly activating prolactin receptors, which leads to more progesterone I think. Too much will flood the receptors and block your own stronger prolactin, making things worse rather than better. Try around 100 mg. I think 40-125 mg is fine.
www.pubmed.gov also has a hundred positive studies on vitex. Search "vitex agnus castus" since there's another different "vitex" plant.
