Re: Phosphatidyl serine/Seriphos - Why Does it Make Some People Hyperactive/Unable to Sleep?

Do you know 110 percent that you have high cortisol at night? maybe 3-4 saliva tests over different days in a month? (hormone levels change daily so never trust a single test)

If not, you might find you actually have high adrenaline and low cortisol, meaning taking Seriphos to lower cortisol when cortisol is low will increase adrenaline, and boom, more wired.

Low cortisol/high adrenaline and high cortisol mimic each other symptom wise, for years I thought I was high cortisol, but I wasnt. Adrenaline is the bigger problem in later stage AF.

Oh and dont take beta blockers at night, they destroy melatonin.

Also, Seriphos hieghtens dopamine. You may not of needed extra dopamine - ever smoked a few joints and been wired rather than sleepy - same effect. Messing around with neurotransmitters when the body is in a fragile state is terrible, Ive learnt that the hard way to, as I just to be the same, munching every natural and chemical sleep aid, trust me, it will never fix a problem. My suggestion, come off all the brain crap, and let you system readjust natually, it may take a while and be pretty tough, but at least it will be 'real'.

Stay off the benzos!!!! Lunesta will destroy you in the long run. The cocktail your giving yourself is seretonin, dopamine, gaba - subastance and gaba antagonists, cortisol lowering herbs, beta blockers blocking the A receptors, I also noticed on another thread your also trying Trazadone as well- its like pure confusion for the mind and body, but I understand, at one time i did exactly the same in pure panic over sleep.

Oh and in response to your other sleep thread, yes a person can manage on three hours a night sleep, I did for years and while working a heavily physical job.
Good luck! Tweet
