Good morning Nick,

I'm glad you got a little sleep.  It makes a world of difference.  As soon as the sleep starts to come back, the other stuff gets better quickly.

Be careful taking the l-tyrosine in the afternoon or evening because it can really make you jittery and make sleep even tougher.  I could only take it in the morning but it did get me going.

I hope you have immodium for the runs.  Take lots of it if need be, it really helps.

It sounds like you are turning the corner on this and that is really cool to hear.  Very happy for you.

Hang in there it will keep getting better and great job so far!!!

AGREE 100% with Vicki here.  You can't keep searching for "something" to help.  That is a bad habit that needs to be broken.  I got some Alteril(natural stuff) today, and I'm anxious to see if it works.  If it does, I'll let you know.  Seroquel never helped me sleep much.  It just made me feel weird and super strange the next day!  Think about it ok?  Don't keep dumping stuff in.  You COULD make it worse.....

We're just in that habit of reaching for a pill. As you know,part of detoxing is breaking from that habit.

Seroquel is an antipsychotic. It's used to treat hallucinations,usually from schizophrenia.
Now,I'm sure you're feeling nutty right about now but don't take this. The object is to "rest" your brain so it can heal. Don't dump more chemicals into yourself.

The sleep will return. So will the energy.  You need to accept it,Nick. Just be okay with it.  Get the "Super Snooze Melatonin".  It will work far better than Seroquel!

Good luck with this and hang tough!
