In reply to intuition is telling me to quit meds, posted by bookgurl99 on May 16, 2003, at 1:25:19
these are 'supplements' i'm looking into to help me through this time. any suggestions; is this too many? anything i should avoid?
To cover basics:
Daily Antioxidant combo (A,C,E, Selenium, COQ10)
Multi-Vitamin (chromium, B's,including niacinamide, etc.)
B- 50 Complex
(is this too many B's?)For boosting energy, adapting to stress:
Ashwaganda
Cordyceps
Siberian Ginseng"Natural Anti-depressant"
1 Folic Acid
3 St. John's Wort (to taper off after a month)
3 Omega-3 (brain juice)"Natural Anti-anxiety"
4 Cal-Mag Citrate
1 Evening Primrose Oil (s'posed to help w/ pms)sleepytime help (to combat SSRI WD rebound insomnia).
Valerian RootThis will all cost about $120/month if I take it all every day.I'm working 3 extra hours/week to pay for it all.
other thoughts;
yoga for me, 3 x/week or during bad anxiety days (2 classes at my gym, 1 video)
exercise, biking 2x/week, swimming 3x/week
meditation or journaling before bed
volunteering 5x/month (with the GLBTC community ctr.)
joining writing workshop
.. . maybe go to a hypnotist to learn not to 'set off' my inner panic at driving in heavy traffic or sighting bloody news photos.
. . .
thx for being there to listen, y'all
