I have been taking Omega-6 supplements ( Borage Oil), and low dose of Klonopin as well as D-Ribose for energy. And regular exercise
PROS: For the first time in along time, I am stable, able to hold down a job for more than a few months, mood swings are gone and most importantly my constant anxiety/panic is all but gone
CONS: No motivation at all for anything pleasurable (including sex, making/ or being with friends,etc.) , no feelings or passion about anything, inability to get mad, passive, basically I feel like a robot. Very empty inside. But no "depression" - just here, occupying space.
- To me this sounds very similar to what happens when people are on SSRI's - would this be an accurate statement? Lack of dopamine , I would say too, definitely.
If my serotonin has been rasied, what out of my regimen would do that? I am baffled.. All I can thikn of is that the Omega-6 Borage Oil is the culprit. But I would have no idea how..
Is there any way to change the dopamine/serotonin ratio without the anxiety returning?
Any thoughts or suggestions about this would be greatly appreciated.
