Many,no consensus: Black cohosh, goldenseal, , chamomile , the list goes on and on. I think it comes down to finding the one that seems to help your particular chemistry. Re; prescriptions, some ssri's are helpful and recently Gabapentin has received some press as being helpful depending upon the type of symptom's you are experiencing.Best to discuss options with a doctor versed in homeopathic & allopathic medicine.
