I had my 4 amalgams out over a period of 2 weeks, similar experience to yours. I was spitting out streams of silver bits at the dentist's, it was horrific.

I did find that my symptoms increased noticeably and I was really feeling rough. I've had depression, and the depression and everything associated with it got worse. At first I tried a heavy metal detox compound with cilantro and chlorella, but it didn't help much. I ony started seeing improvements when I began using DMSA. I have gone 5 rounds with it now and I would say that the worsening of my symptoms has almost disappeared. I now need to think about how long to keep chelating, see how much difference it makes to the 3-year depression.

Some really good advice here. Take loads of vitamin C, I would suggest at least 10 grams a day. Chelate with anything that works for you until you can get something a bit stronger like DMSA.

And avoid the comfort eating <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I know, I have truly been there 1000 times over myself. It will only make it worse though. When you really get frightened or anxious, can you try talking to someone, writing on this forum, or just distracting yourself with a walk or a hobby?

Take care and best wishes for your recovery,
Linda.
