Amino Acids

[Guest guest]

I may be broaching into an off topic area. Please correct me or redirect me

if I am.

My accupuncturist has me reading 2 books one is about foods and mood.

There is a ton of info about eating the right foods, especially proper

proteins. I have to force myself to eat.

The " self test " I'm off the charts on needing seratonin. A number of

aminos are suggested. I did purchase some 5-HTP. I'm exhausted and DON'T

sleep, even with major meds like 2 mg klonopin and 20 mg ambien. I feel

like I'm going crazy. SSRI's made me feel worse and I dropped them

(Zoloft and a few others through the years)

Does anyone have any experience with this. I'm currently on 10 mcg cytomel

takine 5 am and 5 pm. Using the supplements suggested to lower Cortisol.

My Diagnostechs Cortisol results at end of my post.

I'm sure I need more Cytomel but am trying to work with my shrink and she is

at least looking at info I provide. Am tired of feeling like I'm in a sink

hole and have to educate the " medical establishment "

Yes Mam, I am taking Seriphos PS one am one a couple hours before bed per

your suggestion. Have been doing this a couple weeks.

I found a different brand locally, and may get that again, it's a much

smaller dose, but the different formulation may be why I was actually

sleeping some.

I'm spending so much money and energy just trying to figure out what works.

Am doing the Rhodiola and Ashwaganda as well as 200 mcg of selenium in the

am to help with thyroid absorbsion.
