CATUF-Supplements

CATUF

I'm sorry to hear you had a "day" yesterday.  The positive part of that scenario is that you were on the giving end of that dealio.   I'm posting up here re: Supplements so you won't have to scroll all the waaaaaay down.

On the L-Tyrosine... do you take the 2000mgs that are suggested in the Thomas Recipe?   That stuff is one of the few supplements that actually is felt almost instantly.. I was really surprised at it's effect.  However, 2000mgs is too much for me it does make me jittery.   I am taking 1 - 500 mg a day.

I'm a bit leary of the HTP-5 and I know that controversy is well over for at least 10 years.. conversely I read that it really does a good job with keeping up with NT.   I was surprised you didn't add a B-complex to that list.  The "B's" are so essential, but I was a Vit popper way before detox, I really feel a huge difference when I don't take my Stress B-complex.  I'm going to do a bit of reading on the other stuff.. I wasn't familiar with any of it.


Since weaning off of Xanax, I found a Herb/supplement called Bacupa...a natural supplement for anxiety... that too was available at Vit Shoppes and it has helped me with the anxiety. The rebound anxiety that exacerbated from Xanax w/d is a killer for me.  I just don't know how anyone functions with that level of anxiety.   First four days into detox I was eating Valerian like it was popcorn... I can't look at another one of those pills right now..LOL   I wrote down your list, I just want to see what the other stuff does/is.  But thanks for sharing that with us.

Stay away from 5-HTP! I used it for the leg cramps, and it made me SOOOOO sluggish the next day. And my legs felt worse!
I will never use it again, don't need a problem to be intensified, yanno?

I have read some stuff about it too... seems to be mixed emotions on both sides about that stuff.

I guess what works for some.. doesn't for others.  If you have Vitamin Shoppes around you, the usually have some very informed personnel that really do help make choices if you go and tell them what you need.

I made a list..and will visit the Vitamin Shoppe soon as this FREAKING WEATHER gets s tad bit warmer.  LOL

O'Fyre... hope you had a Happy Birthday.. I'd sing to you but I'm sure you would not get the FULL AFFECT of how well I sing thru this medium.   *sweet smile*
