Unfortunately he started searching out small objects to eat, non-edibles so we had to stop it. It was very strange. The behavioral neuro felt that it was decreasing his ability to control impulsive and OCD behavior. Karyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 14, 2009 Report Share Posted March 14, 2009 Great suggestion. Omacor is another prescription high potency fish oil = EPA/DHA. One study with substance abusers showed a tremendous reduction in anxiety with high dose fish oil -- 4000 mg NET EPA and DHA combined per day. Vitamin D, in high doses - like 5000 IU/day also has data showing reduced anxiety and an amino acid -- theanine -- was equal to Xanax in reducing anxiety at doses in the hundreds of milligrams in one study. I take all of them for reduced stress/anxiety and do notice a difference. Mooney www.michaelmooney.net www.medibolics.com > > > > Since last August I've been on two regimens of meds.

However, what has been so difficult is the effect these meds are having on my central nervous system. I've experienced constant severe anxiety and depression which has greatly inhibited my ability to function.

The only thing barely holding me together is Ativan at a pretty good-sized dose. > > > > I've asked several doctors here in San Francisco about the link between the meds and severe anxiety and they swear that this has never been reported by anyone on Truvada/Viramune.
