I've tried just about every AD known and each of them has some unpleasant side effect. If I'm not a zombie, I don't want sex. If I want sex, I gain weight and no one wants to have sex with me. If I want sex and don't gain weigh, I feel like I'm on speed with a clenched jaw. Does anyone out there have experience with homeopathic remedies? I'm thinking of a small dose of a conventional AD along with fish oil concentrate. Any suggestions?

There's a separate board for alternative treatments:

Homepathic remedies have not withstood double-blind testing, and thus are indistinguishable from placebos. This is not surprising since they have not a molecule of active ingredients. HTH.

10 mg of celexa, 1mg of folic acid, and 4-6g of fish oil worked wonders for me.

remedies for myself, my wife, my 5 year old and many friends
let me say first of all i am now of the opinion that it is all about the homeopath and the remedy....there are 10,000 remedies
secondly, if i recall correctly there is more recent *scientific* evidence that homeopathy does indeed something
thirdly, in the case of myself and my wife and other adults, results can be very gradual over a long period of time, sometimes a few years......with children who do not have all the compensations that adults have the results are generally much quicker and more dramatic
we use nutritional supps along with the homeopathy, and i myself am taking meds while waiting for the full benefits of my remedy to come to fruition
best to all

With kindest regards, there is also a lot of scientific evidence that placebos and 'positive thinking' work. Hmoepathic remedies appear to work for your 5-year old for the same reason that kissing owies works: they believe you are helping them. Try grinding up the Hylands and slipping it into their oatmeal without their knowledge and see if it works.

Exercise may address all of your concerns.
Definitely try the fish oil if it is not contraindicated.
Fish oil helped to reduce the "brain shakes" I experienced.
BTW, I believe Larry recommends vitamin E to be taken with it.
I have read this elsewhere also.Have you considered 5-HTP?

is a false scientific theory. Less concentrated
but more effective does not work anywhere in nature.

I couldn't find the abstract I was looking for (it had better data). I offer this for interest only.

Cushing's disease: a new approach to therapy in equine and canine patients.
Elliott M.
Kingley Veterinary Centre, Oldwick Farm, Lavant, West Sussex, UK.
Forty-one cases of Cushing's Disease affecting both equine and canine patients were treated with an identical mixture of two homeopathically prepared remedies (ACTH 30c and Quercus robur 30c), and the clinical improvements seen in the cases assessed. Homeopathy has been described as a medicine that can only be prescribed on the basis of individual symptoms shown, fitting the remedy to the patient, not the disease. The aim of this study was to define whether a standardised approach, using homeopathically prepared remedies, was a valid system of therapy for this disease, and if so, whether results were repeatable between species. The overall success rate for the therapy was 80% and results were broadly similar between the two species, indicating that homeopathy lends itself to the treatment of Cushing's Disease, and also to both cohort studies and group medicine.

I'm sorry, what is 5-HTP?
