amino acid protocol help?

I felt so horrible in my first few days after a cd turkey stop 20 days ago that I went out and got a few of the vitamin supplements from the amino acid protocol. My question is how long should I be taking the supplements? And is it safe to stop taking the Sam-E stuff cold turkey? Or am I gonna tur suicidal if I do that? The vitamins are ok they're not too expensive but the Sam-E stuffs pretty expensive. Any answers or comments from you guys??

The amino acids work - - ALL of them.......there is no danger of overdose as these are all natural and made by your own body when its tuned up properly -  we get out of tune when addicted.................   if you take a large dose any extra is eliminated through urine......  Better give your body every chance that you can while you attempt this - - btw - I am 2 years clean from a habit that started in 1969 in Vietnam - -  thats experience.....

I only got the supplements that I thought would help me. They're all vitamins, multi, b complex, vitamin c, calcium and magnesia (for night time) and the Sam-E's. I did get a small bottle of melatonin that I used the entire first 10 days but I no longer take them. Just the others I listed above. I'm feeling pretty good I must admit. I'm actually going out 3-4 days a week and jogging again. That makes me feel great!
Good luck to you & to all of us in this battle. Together we can!
I'm SO greatful for the support from everyone here on this website

Keep coming back everyone. See you on the boards Rhonda :)

I'm a little curious  about it as well. Thought about tkaing them too for scattered thoughts, lack of sleep and overall health. Do you have to take all of them for it to be effective? Funny thing is i can't imagine taking all that stuff, but man whenit came to the other, it was never too much. Thanks for the post and reply. You're doing great, rhonda!
