Yup. Year 5 on some form of Orthomolecular. The results...I dunno, lol.
See, some of the OM shrinks said that if you'd had problems for a while, it could take--wait for it, wait for it--5 years to get significant results.
At the 5 year mark, I'm usually calm, cool, and collected. No TD or anything from the Abilify, which is a blessing. No rashes or anything from the anticonvulsants. My symptoms have waned in intensity.
On the physical end...I'm remarkably healthy. Is it OM or...something else?...I dunno. I'd like to think that this massive supplement protocol has done something, is doing something...
Anyway, if nothing else, 5 years on OM has helped my meds work better, with no major side effects. I still whine about the 30mgs Abilify--I think its a bit much--but...like I wrote above, no TD, no EPS. The Wellbutrin seems to help w/ sedation and concentration and mood, so I'm able to do things (finishing my degree online, at long last).
I do think I can recommend OM to people with mental issues. It can only help you (b vitamins, c, e, selenium, etc.). It does seem to de-stress and I do sleep very well these days. Also, my meds do what they're supposed to do, without too many side effects.
Anybody else on lots of supplements?
