Reducing negative effects of antivirals

[Guest guest]

I'm interesting to hear if anyone has tried giving vit B6 to reduce negative behaviours that sometimes crop up when starting rx antivirals?

There has been some talk in the past on using GABA and some have reported success with 5htp. Does anyone have anything else to share? Has anyone tried upping Magnesium?

(in case anyone is interested in reasoning behind this there was a thread long ago on raised interferon-gamma on antivirals, which leads to faster degradation of tryptophan – through something called IDO metabolism ... Leading to less serotonin in the brain, and at the same time more of quinolinic acid=excitotoxicity.... Resulting in more agression, depression etc... If interested Try advanced search on IDO and interferron or this link http://www.psychosomaticmedicine.org/cgi/content/full/65/4/665
