On all this talk with prozac and supplements......

[Guest guest]

Does anything jump out at any of you for any kind of deficiency for the

following problems?

 

Severe depression with suicidal thoughts, mild paranoa, migraines, petit mal

seizures that happen every so often, mild panic attacks....

Hi Erin,

These are the supplements helpful with depression: L-tryptophan, N-acetyl

tyrosine, B-1, B-6, B-12, folic acid, SAM (s-adenosyl methionine)and acetyl

L-carnitine. The amino acid taurine is very useful with any seizure disorders.

Of course, these supplements work best if combined with a sugar-free diet, rich

in protein, the essential fatty acids, starchless veggies, exercise and safe

sunbathing.

Thanks for the advice. Fortunitely I don't have any of these problems. I

did when I was a child to around 19, for 9 something years, beginning very

young. The paranoa came out around 14 and never lasted long.....one day

everything just dissapeared after having a form of depression called

psychotic depression ( one doctor called it, dont know if the term really

exists, or it was just sort of a description; 2 doctors called it schizo

effective disorder ( Basically what they say when they dont know whats wrong

with you.....almost manic, but not....almost schizophrenic, but not....is the

definition for this I read online ( LOL )......But after having it from, say

3rd grade to adulthood, it just stopped. I didnt think all of that could be

that severe and related with age, but I could be wrong...who knows.....

Just asking out of curiosity for opinions on what the cause Was....

Interesting Erin...I can't help but notice that those years were your growing

years. Perhaps your body was short on some nutrients (Vitamin B's?) and then it

stabilized once you stopped growing? Just a thought.

I have no idea. Nobody has ever been able to figure it out completely. I

think its due to stress. When I moved out of the house with my parents and

met my now husband, my life improved and I left school and work, where I was

stressed with people , routine ,and obligations, and the verbal abuse of my

mother, and then my problems dissapeared. I think back and notice that when

my problems had ceased due to medication, they came backk after about a month

of trying to work again. The motor tick and mal petite seizures began at age

3, but those are no big deal. Seizures are usually only aggrivated by

something, and the motor tick ( which isnt any kind of body tick, just

something I call it ) doesnt bother me. That has stayed on. The paranoa

only got bad once, but only came 2 times in my life also. The depression had

stayed. All I have now is the motor tick like I said before. I really do

think it's some sort of stress disorder. And of course, I was very

deficient during my teenage years by far! So THAT could be why the paranoa

came about.

These SamE and Serotonin boosters should be taken as soon as you wake up

otherwise you may upset their interrelated

timing with Melatonin.

 

SamE and Serotonin are elevated during the day and lower at night while

Melatonin is lower during the day and elevated

at night. Melatonin is made from both SamE and Serotonin and a shortfall or bad

timing of either may reduce night time

Melatonin levels or timing.
