RE: DEPRESSION
After eliminating gluten from my diet my 50 years of chronic depression completely went away. I would definitely try 4 weeks gluten free to test.

RE: Lithium orotate
I take 0.5mg lithium orotate from time to time and it helps with panic attacks. If I take it more that twice a week it seems to lose it's effect.
I have high whole blood histamines and from what I've read is that high histamine causes high glutamate activity in the brain. Lithium helps to dampen a glutamate storm from what I understand (I'm no expert). If I feel my head getting hot, panic setting in and uncontrollable rumination, Lithium helps with that. If my anxiety is more of a "body high" with heart palpitations, it doesn't help with that.

RE: Girlfriend going off Hormonal Birth Control and Anti-Depressants for First Time in Half a Decade. Any Advice for Her.
@Sunniva Hi Fren!
At first I cut over three months and everything went fine. About a month after my last dose I went completely nuts with non-stop panic/terror/horror attacks. That lasted a few months until I reinstated a partial dose. From there I cut 10% per month which took a few years.
I can't say the progestE really does anything for me. The only thing that seems to help is diphenhydramine. I still have trouble sleeping through the night, but it's not too bad. I also get claustrophobic attacks from time to time.

RE: Girlfriend going off Hormonal Birth Control and Anti-Depressants for First Time in Half a Decade. Any Advice for Her.
Can confirm. It took me about 6 years to quit long term Effexor use. What I've gathered from years of reading accounts is that a few lucky people seem to be able to quit easily, some have a rough few weeks and most have years long protracted withdrawal.
Everyone wants to believe they are in group one or two, so nothing I say here is most likely going to influence your decision to taper quickly. Just know that if she starts to get severe psychological symptoms of depression, hopelessness and terror, it's probably withdrawals. At that point the best option is to reinstate the AD, then plan to taper at a rate of 10% per month.

RE: The real periodic table?
@JulofEnoch For the low low price of just $10 you can have your own copy!!!
https://philosophy-org.myshopify.com/products/the-russell-periodic-chart-of-the-elements-1Yes, the proof is in the pudding. Anyone can reorganize the elements into whatever table they want, date of discover, alphabetical, whatever. The important thing as you mentioned is whether or not a particular layout is useful. With Howard's table i don't know one way or another. I haven't found an explanation.

RE: The real periodic table?
@Regina I just listened to 50% of the Joe Rogan - Terrence Howard interview and in my humble opinion is that this guy just talks around in circles. He's got a few interesting ideas, but when asked to explain himself he throws out a bunch of addition unrelated babble. He is about as coherent as Charlie Manson.
