Alright, lots to say, again. I'll try to keep it short this time...
Uny said: "Regarding the IF#2. I've helped quite a few folks deal with this class of drugs (and benzos too). With the SNRI's MOST people can (and choose) to use the IF#2 as their first "cut" (they stay at their current/stable oral dosage, and let the small amount the charcoal/clay in the IF#2 adsorbs from their bloodstream be the first cut in dose). Most choose to do that because they WANT to keep cleansing and healing while they're going through the months it generally takes to get off these evil b*stards. (The IF#1's don't affect the blood level of SNRI's)."
Right, right. Were these people *aware ahead of time* that using the IF#2 as the first "cut" in dosage of benzos/anti-depressants could/would make them panicky? I wasn't aware of IF#2's effect of anti-depressants and I paid the price. With the panic, came the smoking.
Staying off coffee while having adrenal issues has proved wonderful. It would seeeeeeeem...coffee was just jacking up my imbalanced hormones, making me get caught in anxious, depressive loops and unending fear. Fun stuff.
Now, the normal "coffee drinking public" without adrenal distress is just able to enjoy that cup or two a day, get the false stimulation and know none the better.
I am going to give this a wack: "If you want to do that, then get the Adrenal tincture and take that along with the Ashwagandha (& whatever dose of Effexor you're now dealing with) for at LEAST 3-5 days. Keep all doses STABLE. Then start the 5 doses of IF#2...taking the Effexor at least one hour away from any of the doses. Then see what you get. If you can handle it, then stick with that for say, a week (???) until the symptoms stabilize...then make your first dose cut of the Effexor."
**Disclaimer** I don't have a juicer. And in lieu of "superfood," I have hemp protein, spirulina, and an "Enriching Greens" mix that contains chlorella and everything else under the sun. Can this be a substitute for "superfood?" It's this guy...http://www.iherb.com/Natural-Factors-Enriching-Greens-Powder-with-Herbal-Phytosomes-10-6-oz-300-g/2625?at=0
This rash is fairly recent. By "issues," do you mean the depression, anxiety, general breakdown-y type emotions or do you mean *just* physical symptoms?
