I want to encourage you to HANG ON because you know that it is just a biochemical thing, and you are not permanently losing your mind. If this helps: more than 20 years ago, I felt like you, though I doubt it had to do with my few fillings (which, when they were installed, never caused me problems of any sort). My story is that I suddenly had lots of bad luck and personal problems; "major disaster" would not be an excessive description of my lot in life. So I just kind of sunk into the ground, mainly staying home and living largely off frozen ice-cream pies.

After several months of this, I decided that it was time to smarten up. So I stopped the Total Sugar Diet and went on a real healthy diet. No junk or sugar passed my lips. Well, after a few days, I guess it was the sugar coming out (like mercury for you?) and I went totally ape-s**t. A mental case. I was seriously suicidal from feeling that I would be crazy forever. I can't describe it, but every moment was severe fear & panic. I was phoning all, to try to get someone to help me. Anyway, I passed through the de-sugaring in several days. I know mercury is worse, but many people have felt very, very bad - and lived to tell the tale. SO WILL YOU. - Carla.
