any help for these? please let me know everyones experiences in taking vitamins/herbs and supplements even drugs.

I have tightness or heavy pressure on chest abdomen(is this stress or posture).

I have yet to try

INOSITOL 8-12 grams daily
LEMON BALM (havnt tried on its own)
ST JOHNS WORT TINCTURE (low doses)


Prescription Anti-depressants

I have tried

VALERIAN + LEMON BALM (Made me stressed more funny headed)

PASSIFLORA (It seemed to work but still got moody)

L-THEANINE (Meant to help felt depressed no relaxed)

SSRI- More anxious and nervous, more jittery and social stressed. WORST EVER

Pycnogenol- More panicy and teary

High doses Amino acids. Mainly l-tyrosine and tryptophan or 5-htp. WAS WAY WORSE!! they meant to calm me but I was so ill.

Milk thistle - = ill more stress

FIsh oil - Not sure mood is a bit better but more ANXIOUS

B Vitamins - Very shaky and more tension and paranoia and stress could not tolerate. THEY MEANT TO BE STRESS FORMULA??? its the opposite.

Hops ,gentian - Very flushed more anxiously spaced out.

St Johns wort- Seem to feel weird but ok and more motivated. Socially more moody and stressed though.

Multivitamin and mineral. Worse off more constant aggitation or irratable

Try doing a candida diet, that will make the most difference. Supplements aren't being utilized if your digestion is impaired with candida, and if you have mercury toxicity, you likely have candida overgrowth as well.

Best luck,

I recommend inositol, it's great for anxiety, even 500 mg helps me.

Your symptoms sound adrenal and or thyroid related. Have you had your cortisol levels and or your thyroid checked?

Check out this website for more info: www.stopthethyroidmadness.com.

It discusses the symptoms that are related to these deficiencies. Many folks who have mercury problems also have endrocrine system issues such as adrenal insufficiency and thyroid deficiencies.

Thanks everyone. Will try INOSITOL <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />.

I had my levels checked and my Cortisol was fine but DHEA was exceptionally high lol. Apparently this is good compared to the otherway around.

I had my saliva done for thyroids and getting it back next week. Is this ok or should I get blood work.

Thanks again everyone for suggestions.

How long does the candida diet take to work? is it good to work with amalgams in? I heard you cant beat candida or parasites with amalgams in.

I'm not sure exactly what high DHEA means but it is indicative of endocrine problems. Consider very high or low readings of any hormones to be indicative of an imbalabce (a fixable one). The forums at stopthethyroidmadness.com are good for getting answers about wat high levels of this or low levels of that mean.

They dont know what High DHEA means. They said it could be insulin problems. But my Testosterone was HIGH too but my sex drive isnt that great lol...which is weird. I am male.

HIgh DHEA is meant to be calming. but im very nervous.

Sounds like candida symptoms. Try taking grapefruit seed extract. Start with 3 drops in 8 ounces of water 3 times a day(stir well). Gradually increase this to 6 drops in 8 ounces of water 8 times a day. Also take 400mg or 500 mg a day of magnesium.
