Guest guest Posted July 4, 2006 Report Share Posted July 4, 2006 Chad, these are all signs of over-excitement of your autonomic nervous system. Where can you reduce stimulation in your life? C Update from Chad Hi , I still feel very weak and tired most of the day, can't seem to get enough rest, poor energy. In our conversation you mentioned perhaps a thryoid hormone or something like that. Is my regime below still okay, or is there anything I should add, increase or decrease. thanks Chad, I've been taking Caprotein2x a day, one in the morning before breakfast and when I get off work before meals. I've been taking the magnesium 250mg and vit C 1000mg from 7-3pm, alternating between hours. lethicin 3 x a day 520MG, fish oils 3 x a day 2000mg with meals Ultra Toddy 1x in morning 1x in evening Mineral Toddy 1x at noon, 1x late in evening. I have noticed my mind is slightly settling down a bit, some nights I can fall asleep faster and less interrupted as before. I still have the depersonalization. Tight helmet feeling around my head. nervousness, confusion at times, shaky feeling all over my body, body feels weak after changed diet and taking supplements. I'm drinking lots of water, I had some problems with a prostrate englargment a few weeks ago, it is a little better but still not 100%. <<(from my orginal post, below.) I've been feeling this strange depersonalization now since Oct of last year when I woke up from and had anxiety attack. I've been taking Clonazapam for about 12 years now. The doctor started me on doxipan in Nov and Depakote, (I haven't been on antidepressant for about 13 years) The doxipan made me nervous and manic and depakote was horrible I was too weak, after about three weeks the doc took me off both. I began to notice I had a dialogue going in my head along with hearing music, so I the doc put me on risperdal, I was only able to handle that for three or for days at the most, it made matters much worse, I started to have extreme fear, along with more anxiety and the dialogues got louder and I started to hallucinate. I started Zoloft about a month ago on 15mg, per doc's orders. And I became more nervous and along came dysphoria mania so I decided a week ago I wanted to stop the medicine and go on something natural. The worst part of my symptoms are depersonalization, I'm hypersensitive to smells, lights, sounds. My whole body feels tense, my mind feel like it is being pushed from the inside out. I don't think the Clonazapam has really done much to help, I'm on 1.5 mg a day. I would like to get off it as well as find an alternative to antidepressants and moodstablizers and get rid of the depersonalization. I haven't drank since Oct of 05, I used to drink a lot of beer for many years. I've cut down on my coffee and I really need to quit smoking. But again the depersonalization is the worst part about this. any ideas on what I should do? I am only on the Clonazapam and I've been taking B complex with vitamin C for a few months now. ** What you initially experienced is from the damage done by years of drinking. IMO, damage from chronic drinking needs to be recognized and talked about more. This will not be fixed by psychotropic drugs. ** Considering what happened to you while drinking that caused all this (it's called allostatic overload), it is important to get a good, personalized protocol going. If it was just a simple, straightforward one drug withdrawal with no complications, a consultation wouldn't be necessary. The allostatic overload tells me you are drastically depleted in nutrients and overloaded in toxins and free radicals, This will not go away on its own. ..

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 , I did have a blood panel a few months ago, they tested for thyroid, diabetes and others everything came back clean. Just a note: I have some prostrate inflammation that began a month ago, we had to put new carpet in our house and I think the lifting strained something down there. I was on an antibiotic for 10days, helped open things up but in general I'm still pretty weak. I've been taking these to help w/ that: http://www.greatestherbsonearth.com/nsp/psII_prostate_glandular.htm http://www.greatestherbsonearth.com/nsp/mens_formula.htm and also Quercetin Are those okay? thanks for your time.

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2006 Report Share Posted July 5, 2006 Here's your problem, Chad. You were already on overload but now you have to deal with the off-gassing of the new carpet and the ravages of 10 days of antibiotics. Why did you take antibiotics -- for inflammation?

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 > > they thought I might have a bacteria infection>> ** You have to be really careful about this. It takes the body a year to recover from one 10 day course of antibiotics. these drugs deplete at least 9 different nutrients, beneficial bacteria, and damge bone marrow. I think you're under quite a burden between the effects of the antibiotics and the new carpet. You'll need to replenish your body with bacteria. This can be done with probiotics and/or some live kefir. Make sure you keep taking the vitamin and minerals. rest more on weekends. C > > > Here's your problem, Chad.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2006 Report Share Posted July 8, 2006 , last winter I took 2 courses of antibiotics for sinus infections (amoxycillin). The second course was twice as powerful as the first. I got awful stomach upset. Do you think it would be beneficial for me to take some bacteria, or do you think it was long enough ago (5 months or so) for me to be focusing on other priorities at the moment? Thanks, .

I'm afraid I don't know anything about this area of nutrition. What kind of bacteria should I get? > > > BTW, thanks for your private email the other day. You really hit > the heart of the matter -- quite eloquently. Thank you , but as I said, I think it was a waste of time. There's no persuading, no changing very entrenched opinions. He still believes what he believes and thinks he knows best. Oh well, water under the bridge now I guess . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
