Here is a good post I hope this helps
**These are the ones from the pain addiction category as well as the depression/anxiety...**
B- vitamin Complex either 50mgs or 100mgs, needed for absorption of aminos..
Multi mineral vitamin, just good to take all around
5HTP-- this is what tryptophan gets turned into prior to being turned into serotonin in our brains. Serotonin is what is usually depleted if we are depressed and anxious.. Taking the with help with PAWS ( post acute withdrawl syndrome) DO NOT TAKE IF YOU ARE TAKING A SSRI OR TRICYLIC ANTI DEPRESSANT
Dosage-- up to 300mgs a day 3x DAILY ( I take 100mgs 3x per day, start with the lower dose and move up if needed)
L-glutamine--amino acid required for GABA production, that is the relaxing part of our brain. up to 2000mgs 3x per day.. ( I take 1000 mgs 3x day, again start lower and work up if needed)
L-Taurine-- another "relaxing" amino up to 1000mgs 3x daily
DLPA-- helps restore the function to the pain receptors working with the endorphins/enkephalins DO NOT TAKE IF YOU ARE TAKING A SSRI OR TRICYLIC ANTIDEPRESSANT
Dose-- up to 2000mgs 3x per day (again you can start lower like 1000mgs 3x daily)
L-leucine-- required for the production of endorphins up to 500mgs 3x per day
L-methionine-- same as leucine
If you find yourself really struggling with energy after being on the aminos you can add L-tyrosine to the mix in the early part of the day.. up to 1,500mgs..
If you find yourself having some anxiety the amino L-theanine is like natural valium.. It has helped me so much I no longer need to take xanax at all for my panic attacks
If you are interested in other ways to help heal. Ester C 500mgs to 1000mgs per day can be very helpful.. as well as extra calcium and magnesium.. Alpha lipoic acid is a anti oxidant that helps protect your body against free radicals.. EFA"S can also help in the form of fish oils and omega 3's
As far as sleep.. in my early days off of pills I took a sleep blend from GNC with a L-theanine and calcium magnesium liquid everynight and slept like a baby.
I suggest GNC to purchase this stuff they are pretty cheap (some stuff is only 4.99 a bottle) they were also super helpful and knew alot.. I got a gold card to save some bucks in the future..
After a few months if you are feeling good you can taper the aminos back to once a day... then a few months after that a few times a week.. the best part about taking aminos instead of drugs is you don't have to take them forever to get the benefit.. the FIX the problem not put
I haven,t yet but I hope to get a recipe that works
Too true.
Trigger are you getting the info you needed?
Build it..and they will come.......
Dur..sorry, that went right over my head.
Again, I do not have experience with that, but I am fairly certain that there are some members who do. One that comes to mind is a member by the name of "goingtomakeit". Scroll down thru the posts here and find his name on the right hand side. You an click on his name and go to this profile. There you will find his journal section and I do believe that he has info in there. If not, come on back and someone else will help you hun.
Look in my journals the one on amino acids has a site listed that I use. Also look at the Thomas recipe. It gives some help with what vitamins to use.
My call name is trigger but it was taken.I read on hear before that magnesium helped with leg cramps,and on the side of the board there is a place that sells a balance of multi vitamins and herbs and I wondered if any body had any good luck with them when detoxing.
I am just bumping this up in hopes someone will help you with that, I honestly do not know.
Just curious, the title of your post says triggers? I don't get the connection with your question....
