Re: Cortisol and Chronic Anxiety daily

Hello James,

Thank you so much for all your help.

I am located in Colorado although in the late 90's I lived in Vegas~  Desert Shores area.

I am concerned this morning because I've had two days of "yellow stools" and I've had a white coated tongue now for over a month.  I've added in probotics 3 times a day before meals.  I'm concerned here... as I dont want liver problems on top of all this anxiety and panic problems!  What should I do, and should I be concerned.  I dont have insurance and can not afford doctor visits.

Maybe this is too much fats in the diet...  I just dont know.  I've a history of IBS issues but I now know that all of this, ie., the IBS, anxiety and panic is chronic stress responses.  So my HPA axis is truly out of balance!!!

I am also wondering if it is the Kava Kava tea I am drinking...

I am taking the following daily,

1.  Ashwagandha    3 times a day, one dropper full.  2.  Lecitin grandules 3 tbsp daily,  3.  Pantothenic Acid 500mg 2 x daily,  4. Carlson Fish oil, liguid 2 tsp, 2x daily,   5.  B-50, 2 x daily, and B12  1000mcg 1 x daily, 6. Vit. D3 1000IU 1 x daily and 6. Magnesium Glycinate 200, 3 x daily. and also I'm taking Integrative Therapetics  Cortisol Manager, which has  Sensoril brand ashwagandha plus  L'theanine 250mg, Magnolia bark extract to contain 2% honokiol and 1% magnolol and epimedium  aerial part extract 225mg and phophaidylseine 50mg at night.

My appetite is not real good, so I've been trying to add more protein shakes, whey with bananas, avocados, rice milk, etc. 2 x daily in between meals.

I am so really worried (nervous as can be, anxious) that now I have liver issues... prior my stools were normal each morning..

What do you think?  Should I cut out any of the above or go to doctor asap??  I have not added the last things you had mentioned yet...

Thanks,

Carroll

PS: Tried to not take Ativan for 3 days, took .25mg yesterday and .50mg this morning. Yesterday and today I've had so much anxiety that it is unbearable!
