Hi everyone
I would really appreciate everyone's input on my current supplementation below
Morning (without food) past 3-4 weeks
Inositol choline 250/250 mg
Nac 600mg
L thenanine 200mg
Taurine 1000mg
Since yesterday (after last ssri dose)
100mg slow release
45 min later
Cytoplan Wholefood multivit
1 hr before sleep)
Taurine 1000 mg
Background / history.
Just finished tapering off ssri drugs after 20 years after initial hospitalisation fir severe depression and anxiety. But after another breakdown and hospitalisation last april, i started to look deeper after having to go through a horrific time (consider ending my life at times etc. All in past now ) no one is supposed to be on antidepressants for 20 years imo. Failure on the Healthcare systems part to recognise and signpost the correct necessary psychological treatment for me but after a year of intensive psychotherapy I feel like I'm getting to the route of the issues and not trying to stick an ssri plaster over it.
Anyway heres the big issue
Was Having alot of withdrawal issues from venlafaxine in the lower doseage stages 375 to 150mg fine. 150 to 75 harder. 75 to 37.5 loads of issues but yesterday hit 0.
Today is awful. Flu like symptom, flushes, cold sweats, Brainzaps, sleep disturbances, foggy brain, difficulty concentrating, irritability, anxiety and emotional instabilty.
Wondering if nasea was taking 5htp empty stomach but i felt very sick. Worse are brainzaps etc
Might give 5htp miss tomorrow to see if it continues then try again
Considering 1000mg l tyrosine in morning and 1 slow release 100mg 5htp evening.
plan i put together was born out of reading around various alternative supplements and nootropics
Would love to hear peoples thoughts,concern's and suggestions
Especially on the debate around tyrosine and 5 htp
And whether some think l trytophan is a better alternative than 5htp
hanks in advance
