So I've been completely 'med free' for 3 weeks. I'm glad about this. It's been some adjustments.

I visited with my pdoc today. He's supporting me on not taking meds. We had thought I could be having ADD, but my ADD symptoms were due more to meds than to the real me.

I'm experiencing full-force anxiety. We talked about my supplements and made some changes.

First, the 'energizing' vitamins/supplements I was taking have proven to be unecessary. The L-Tyrosine I have tried for a little over a week (500-1000 mg 1 or 2x/daily) has become a little _too_ engergizing, so that I'm up all night ruminating. He suggested I stop taking that unless depression returns, and taking 5-HTP to help me fall asleep.

I am still taking B Complex, antioxidants, and a cal-mag combo. I believe those are essential to good help.

Meanwhile, I'm noticing that I really need exercise to remain stable. I'm also trying to do some yoga/meditation daily but have not developed the habit yet. I may end up making myself a motivational list with gold stars!
