ATD's,safe antipdepressant , bugleweed brick

[Guest guest]

Just a quick compendium o'o stuff.

1) Re Bugleweed in a brick:

The lady at the venerable herbalist in my city uses bugleweed and lemonbalm

in a tea she makes me and other hypers (I use like 4 tablespoons of the

tobacco-lookalike mixture) and it has never bothered me and does help my

eyes. I am using it to help me wean off my (now mysteriously not so

potent!)PTU which I still take,150 mg. daily. Maybe the powdered brick you

have could be made into a tea, starting small at like 1 tsp per big pot of

boiling water. I don't think it would kill you. I can tell how this stuff

makes me feel within a half- hour and adjust accordingly. I drink from a pot

of the stuff all day when I am feeling hyper. It is certainly less potent

adn heavy-duty than PTU.

2. Is there anyone in the group that has satisfactorily/successfully taken

an antidepressant of any kind while hyper/recovering on ATD's? Wellbutrin,

Prozac,Celexa,Effexor,Zoloft etc? Anyone? Past or present usage?

3. How is everyone's PTU potency? Good I pray.

getting labs today , I will report. I don't know why I feel so rotten. Maybe

I will use the opportunity to write a blues song, ( " Woke up this morning,

with the brain fog in my head, Thought i was hyper, TSH is up instead, I

paid the piper, Guess I'd better take my med " ,....)

oh yeahhhh

Hey M,

My kid is a musician and might love to put that to a tune. Can we use the

old Chicago Blues style or do you prefer something more down home? Think we

could have verses for up or down? With this disease up is down and down is

down. Still, we may be one of the few groups of individuals making our own

speed.

It happens that I have a ton of lemon balm growing all over my gardens. Its

like a weed, readily self-sowing. I'd make the tea if I knew the

proportions. If its really weak it can't be more harmful than say, fast

food. OR even some of the air and soil in this area.

Been on a bunch of serotonin reuptakes. I didn't feel as though I needed

any of them so I'm probably not objective about it. I have a lot of

resentment toward the free prescribing that goes on because I think its

often just an attempt to get us to shut up. In the least they mask symptoms

of the real disease. I'm pretty sure that they have their place controlling

symptoms once the symptoms are properly noted. Of course there is that

nasty rumor that sudden withdrawal can cause suicidal ideation.

Thanks for the help.
