hi joe, jus happened to chek this old thread. Thats great you are doing better, but also its great to know that other people know what we're going through. I still suffer from this and it is really affecting my life still. The bottom line is that it sucks.

But I am not letting it get to me anymore. I have starting doing things that are making me feel better. I am practicing deep relaxation twice a day which is helping, and there is evidence that this helps to eliminate strored stress in your hypothalamus, which i think is very important for me. Other than that I am taking supplements. DMAE increases my motivation and takes my mind of the negetive thoughts so I can keep concentrated on what I am doing. I am taking b vitamins because I think i am very deficient. Also starting GABA, just plain GABA, to c whether this helps. Many people say it helps them when taken with other sups like b vitamins and EFA's. I think the acetylcholine/gaba combo is what I need, other antidepressants that raise serotonin, noradrenalin, dopamine just make me feel weird and crazy. Taking DMAE for 2 weeks now has actually made me feel more normal!

I think people like me and you really need more GABA. We need to stay focused and relaxed. I took picamilon a while ago, which raises GABA, and its really helped but only for a short period until I built tolerance. So this was a clue for me.

As for heavy metals it has been confirmed that I have copper overload and take zinc for that. My hair analysis suggests that that is the only metal I have trouble with now, which does make sense as zinc keeps me feeling ok. Hows your heavy metal situation?

It was weird, the best time of my life socially was probably when I was at the peak of toxicity: when i felt the most symptoms and had an etreme diziness/brainfog that was constant. Anyway thats all from me..
