Tonic symptoms and conditions

Just read posts. Will think how to make experience better.

I have taken my three doses within two days, as prescribed so far.
(100mg twice a day).
I may just take one dose today to give my system a reprieve and then think I will stock up on things to help, and go again and try to do the week prescribed.
I AM NOT A DR. so don't take what I Say, as Your authority...but remember that doctors are "practicing" experts at their work" and drug companies like money. Some prescriptions save lives, and others, well...one needs to research and work with or change the method or part of the method. I go herbal whenever possible and hardly take any medications.

My adverse symptoms during this prescription are: Feeling a bit depressed anxious, and withdrawn, almost toward paranoid, Almost. But still ok,"riding the rim" so to speak.
1. "I have heard"... alpha lipoic acid crosses blood brain barrier so that ought to help with brain talking to itself re:
low heavy mood.
Also amino acids, thanks for that too!
2. WATER.
3. Exercise.
4. I think nettle tea as general tonic:
(must boil first for 25 minutes for fresh nettles)
5. I'll get some dandelion root if I don't have milk thistle on hand, or maybe even if I do!
6. I know Omega 3's help with mood
and more so I hope that won't interfere
(does it have minerals???),
I will likely take it anyway between pills.
7. Stay out of sun for now.
8. Vitamin D3.
9. Eat good size meal first.
10. Some Vit. C seems good and also B Vit for stress.
11. Rescue Remedy is a Bach flower remedy for stress. Take as directed, but AGAIN, go slowly if you are listening here, as EVERYONE is different.I take no responsibility for how these things
may effect YOU...but i hope it helps.
One needs to think and trust...
"How do I really feel?" and do the research and look for YOUR options. What works for one doesn't always work for another. I am going to think: what is an immune booster and what is a mood stabilizer, with foods and vitamins, and see if I can keep the prescription going for the week. Coffee~caffeine causes me anxiety. But Turkey has tryptophan in it, that calms.
This is how I NEED,
to THINK...very carefully.
Will call Dr. NOW and let him know what's up for me, and meanwhile, I will try to manage it from info I can muster.
Will see...I don't know outcomes yet, but I do feel, depressed right now.
Stay alert, be gentle and pampering where possible, with my day, calming music, meditate on PEACE...call a friend for temporary support, and do my best.
Here I go....water, big meal, pay attn. to what I need.
CHANGE prescription if too hard!
But...try this way first.
Some people generally absorb meds well and some don't.

How about we all get back to what's important? Hello jules! Hello, Matt! I'm now 9 weeks off of pred. The sadness is still there but I'm checking into some info. I was given by jules. Of course the insomnia is still there, I'll wait it out. Saw my kidney doctor (kidney transplant four yrs. ago) All my lab work was perfect! I was worried about being off of pred. could affect my kidney count. It was .8 which is fantastic. It's better than my nurse's. I'm very thankful. Don't ever give up on knowing the side effects will go away. Each person is different and it will depent on the dosage and the length of time someone is on pred. At first, four yrs. ago, when I was started on pred. my hair was falling out like crazy. I even checked into a wig or clip in real hair. A lady at a salon told me about "power plus" It's shampoo, conditioner and a tonic. After I started that, my hair grew back and haven't had a problem since. In the last four yrs. I bought the product about three times. Now I don't bother with it. It's costs around $40 and is worth every penny. God Bless Everyone Trailblazen awayyyyyyyyyyy............
