Yeah, we could speculate forever. The next few years will let us know.

I saw RFK warn about seed oils. Sorry, no link, but I think it was the Joe Rogan Show.

Try famotidine. I found myself enjoying the company of others after taking it. It's the main ingredient in Pepcid and it is a powerful anti-serotonin agent. Try 10 mg - 20 mg. It takes about 1.5 hrs to take affect.

Oleo is margarine. No wonder Mom is six feet under.

I didn't see a home for political humor.

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.

I just love this picture.

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.

This is old, but it's going to be new to someone.


@DavidPS I was trying to be funny.... It's good to see you here in BEF, I just found it a couple of weeks back.

@DavidPS In my opinion this won't start an argument.

@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.

@Sunniva

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.

Just wondering from the cheap seats. Any rumblings about Vitamin A deficiency being linked to Antisocial and Narcissistic Personality Disorders (n=1)....?
