To BJ_ Re: Inositol - can it be taken in afternoon?

[Guest guest]

Hi, .

What you described sounds like what Josh went through as we were trying to get

the beneficial dosage of antidepressant for him. He also would improve a bit,

then get worse again. I hope the increase in Inositol helps. I think it sounds

really promising that it seems to be affecting her, even if for small bits of

time. Makes it sound like it is working, but just need to find the level that

can help her.

I'm also super sensitive to meds, so completely understand what you are talking

about. It's challenging and FRUSTRATING! I've found that the very things that

can help me, make me sicker than what it is trying to treat. I'm so sorry you

both experience that too. I can imagine how upsetting that is for you trying to

find something to help your daughter.

Hopefully you can reach a level of Inositol that helps her, so she can try the

CBT/ERP again. Josh was the same at one point. . The anxiety and depression

were so all consuming that he couldn't get off of the sofa, much less to

therapy. Once the meds started working some, he was more equipped to face it.

Hoping and praying for you. I've been in that place where they are overwhelmed

and crying, and you are putting one foot in front of the other, just trying to

get through the days. ((((hugs to you))))

to take it later in the day (maybe around 3pm)? I was wondering if it would

cause any sleep problems, etc. if taken in the afternoon? My daughter's doc

wants her to go up to 2,000 mg.

suicide - says she wouldn't do it but thinks she'd be better off if she did.

Says no one will ever want to be with her because she has so many problems. Says

what's the use of living?
