first some background info.
last month i mentioned to my pdoc my interest in moving to L-Tryp instead of taking celexa for my depression and anxiety. i stated to her that i was interested in that path since it appeared to be a more natural solution to treating my problems. she said that she would have to do some reading on it to verify some of the information i gave her and that it could be something to try.
today i had another medcheck appointment with the pdoc (assume pdoc means psychiatry doc) and she told me that we could proceed with the L-Tryp. she wants to taper the celexa down as i ramp up the L-Tryp dosage. i asked her if she had any dosing recommendations, she said that she did not since i was her first patient to try this path.
i told her that i would find out what is a starting dosage and get that information to her so that we could track my progress.this is very exciting for me because i do not like taking meds that the pharm companies are not 100% sure how it works. i would much rather take something that is a naturally occuring chemical and use that.
i am wanting to find out if anyone here has any recommendations as to a starting dosage for
L-Tryp or if anyone knows of a website i could go to for that information or if they know of a pdoc i could email for recommendations.i have a pharmacy here in atlanta that does compounding so i can get the L-Tyrp without a real big hassle.
if you do not want to post a reply here then please email me with your information.
thanks,
mark
