> --the Salvation Army USA West: The Real Men in Black------------------------------I am such a novice at understanding how these AD's work. If an SSRI is a serotonin reuptake inhibitor, then that must mean that without it my serotonin will be "reuptaked" again? How does the body decide how much serotonin to reuptake and how much to leave in the synaptic cleft?
Are there any natural sources of serotonin. I don't have access to a 3-day regimen of prozac.
However, the stress level should be reduced a bit now. My husband drives truck and he is leaving again. The household runs more smoothly when he is gone.
I would hope to be able to read my swings and what is going on in my brain by observing my behavior. I have been playing the piano some more, which is therapeutic.
This is day fourteen of being drug-free. I'm a little "puffy" but I am not eating as compulsively as I was. I guess I should start drinking more water. I also want to obtain some Celtic sea salts. I think that mineral deficiencies may be part of my problem. But I need to save a little cash before I can order some. Does anyone know a good source. Does anyone find themselves healthier when they use French sea salts?All hail the Salvation Army! (west)
