> My first reaction is that you have a high dose of DMAE and a very low dose of SAM-e. I'm also wondering if you're giving the trials enough time.
- Thanks Kara. You're right about the DMAE. I just looked back at my research, and it appears that 130 mg is the recommended starting dose. I was only able to get a product that contains 125 mg of pure elemental DMAE, so I will start with that (one cap a day). Good point about the Sam-e. It is a low dose. I am kind of hoping that with the Celexa, I won't have to go too high. However, you are right, if I don't get at least a minimal response at 400 mg with the Celexa, then perhaps I will go up to 600 mg or 800 mg. >
> You remind me a lot of myself. When I first joined the board I would post plans like that - only mine weren't as sensible as yours.- I remember when I started reading the board. I have to say that your posts, with your well-thought out plans and options, always impressed me. I hadn't realized that lay people could know so much about this stuff. And, unlike me who has the attention span of a tse tse fly, you do really thorough research. My short attention span gets in the way of my reading the lengthier and more detailed studies and reports. Hey, maybe the DMAE will help with the ADHD! That would be nice. Being able to stay focussed and interested in something for an adequate length of time would be so nice. However, my ADHD symptoms have served me well in my current job which requires me to work on four or five urgent priorties almost at the same time. It's a catch 22, I guess.
They would be so long and involved and then I would badger poor Larry over them.
- It's so nice to have someone as knowledgeable and so willing to share their expertise with people as Larry is. He's a gem that's for sure. I have to say that I also appreciate and value the insights of Raybakes and Tealady as well.
Anyways, I saw your thread above about the niacinimide. So glad to hear that you are experiencing some relief from your asthma and panic symptoms. I remember in my early 30s ending up at emergency a few times with breathing problems. Once it was a lung infection, but a couple of other times it ended up being panic. It's so scary when our breathing is affected by either panic or asthma.
Take care.
