In reply to How Much Is Too Much?, posted by honeybee on February 17, 2006, at 12:59:11
This is a great question. I'm new to really learning the results of what I put in my body, but I take huge amounts of supplements and medicines. I started to hurt my stomach, so I began to take less. I don't eat as regular as I should.
I think, just me thinking, that the closer the supplement is to a regular food, that you might just happen to eat, the safer you can feel about it.
I've read some here about the specific times to take things, like fish oil with a fatty meal, Protein powder on empty stomach?. Someone said take a break from things regular. I've currently stopped DHEA, so I don't stop my own production, such as it is. (I'm flying blind here, but when I came down with the virus that caused cfids, i got orchitis, and things were different too much info).
I take on a daily basis, script- Welbutrin 150, Lamictal 100, Clonazepam 2, Asacol 6 pills (ulcerative colitis), Ambien Cr
non-script - claritan d,
supplement. Nitroplex protein shake (in water, don't like milk) for cfs, Gnc Maximum greens shake, DHEA, centrum silver (don't want the iron), Magnesium, selenium, flax seed pill, fish oil pills 2, zinc piccolinate, ATP sublingual (cfs), ribose (cfs), Calcium mag zinc, vit e (for peyronies)2, Vit c, b12 subingual, coq10. probably more, or less, because I run out because of money or mail order delay.
Some of this is fancy specialty stuff, and some is grocery store. I've begun just leaving some in the pill trays, on whims, to keep my system guessing, and to ease the stomach load. they are spread carefully throughout the day, but it still seems ridiculous and dangerous when I write it all down.
Well I got all over honeybee's question, but I have some of the same questions, and you asked for any input
