Hi Larry,
I always enjoy your posts since they are of interest to me and sometimes it is the hope that supplements could be the answer and help me get back to "normal". I used to love to work out, but the past year I get rebound dizziness and mood disturbance if I do. It appears to be related to my nortryptline. I also take 600 mg lithobid and 15 mg of tranzene.The question I have is related to DL-PH that you have discussed and I read that it should be taken with Vit C and B6, with a small glass of juice 1/2 hour prior to eating. Does this make sense to you? I read that a person doesn't want to overdose on B6 and my multiple has quite a bit.
I also saw that my AD (nortryptiline, which I am reducing with my doc's permission) is sensitive to too much Vit C. I saw this on a med interaction chart, but it is not on anything from my pharmacy. One thing I did was instead of reducing my AD I accidently increased it from 50 mg to 70 mg and on the second day I felt like hell. I went for 3 days at 50 mg and to 40 mg for the past two nights. Haven't slept as well and I have some muscle twitches. I usually get these when I don't get enough sleep, but I was wondering if this could also be related to a lack of something(vitamin)?
I still haven't tried taurine or carnitine for panic, but it is tough to know what to add when I am lowering my AD dose. My doc wants me at 30 mg of nortryptiline then add 5 mg of lexapro. I tried 2.5 mg of lexapro for two days and was groggy but had a weird anxious feeling. It is really hard to know what to do sometimes. Thanks for your time
