My understanding is that vitex -- if used too much -- actually has the
reverse effect of low doses of vitex.  I have witnessed this with clients as
well.  Small amounts of vitex are great.  Many people therefore think that
if a small amount is good than more is better.  It is not.  It can all but
eliminate a milk supply in my experience.
