(Think of this remedy when a person has very low confidence, feels that he/she has no friends, has depression and yet becomes enraged and is prone to swear and curse. The sexual desire is high. Symptoms alternate side and are aggravated sleep. It has cured headaches and diphtheria. The symptom of floating could be a symptom in a dissociative state occurring during a trauma {this interpretation is my own, and I have yet to find a case where this symptom leads to remedy, but given the remedy picture it could be used in post traumatic disorders}.)

Compare with the following remedies

(Similar to MUREX

Sadness, melancholy, increased sexual desire, profuse menses, pain mammae during menses, insatiable appetite, sinking in abdo. But MUREX has bearing down while LAC CAN has alternating sided as keynotes,)

Similar to LACHESIS

Ovarian affections, complaints starting left side, lying down causes breathlessness, < after sleep, fainting on raising arms, dreams and fear of snakes)
