> Funny you would mention this since this is the direction I plan to go after using up my current B-100 complex supply. I want to spread out my B vitamin supplementation throughout the day as opposed to mega-dosing once daily. Can you tell me more about this "Standard Process". Is this the brand name? If not, what is the brand name?
Hi Ron,
Standard Process is a brand name, and it is widely used by chiropractors. In fact, you usually can't buy it in a health food or vitamin store; you have to go to a chiropractor or order it online. Their website has a lot of information -- www.standardprocess.com (I can never figure out how to make a link ... sorry).Anyway, the chiropractor I go to is into alternative medicine (like they all are), and he does muscle testing to determine how much of this vitamin B I need. This muscle testing is kind of a new-age thing, and a lot of people don't believe in it ... I'm still on the fence. I think these MDs I'm going to see practice muscle testing, which tells me there probably IS something to it -- I'll know more after I see them on the 30th.
> I suppose you took your 200 mg of SAM-e today. How did it make you feel?
I did take 200 mg SAM-e yesterday, but felt pretty rotten. Very tired, and very anxious. I felt the same way today. I am not blaming that on the SAM-e -- mostly on my own depression, and possibly some withdrawal from the Lamictal -- (yesterday was the first day I was completely off of it.)
I will probably wait a few days before taking the SAM-e again just to be sure I don't blame some side effect on it that's really caused by Lamictal withdrawal or just my illness.
I will let you know what these "holistic MD's" tell me about vitamins, SAM-e, etc. after my appointment on the 30th.
Take care!
