be careful with bacopa (brahmi)! I tried it and it gave me intense insomnia, I bought it from here:  https://www.healthessentialsdirect.co.uk/products/buy-organic-brahmi-powder

 

I used mucuna pruriens and found it helped a lot, especially lifting my mood, turmeric has been a life saver

 

Hi dj,

I bought my bacopa from here,

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ORGANIC-Bacopa-Monnieri-Leaves-Capsules-Brahmi-Improve-Memory-Anti-Stress/253054763285?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&var=552124999630&_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649

 

The mucuna I got it from the website you bought the bacopa. healthessentialsdirect.co.uk 

Using bacopa monnieri helped you with short term memory?

 

My energy is ok, not great . I go swimming, I went with a friend on Thursday and had to drive one hour to return to my place and the next days Friday and Saturday was very tired , I slept 8 hours but wasn't restfull so I stayed in to get some rest.

 

I will resume my exercise program from  tomorrow when the gym will open.My friends also go there.  Some times when there is strong brain fog I can't go and do anything Could be the 1 drop seroxat though as sideeffect.

 

Meditating daily helps keep away negative thoughts.

hi Miko, no bacopa did not help at all, I was stable when I tried it, the 1st day after using it I did not sleep well, the 2nd day of using it I had full blown insomnia that lasted 2 days, I bought it hoping for it to help my cognitive performance, I think my brain is super sensitive and it sent it into shock, also ashwagandha caused me insomnia and 5 htp, only mucuna pruriens has helped me however i am not using it at the moment after advice from the mods to not use it, be careful

[Miko789]

The mucuna i'm not using it anymore because it makes me tense..ok.

 

Problem with short-term memory

example

A friend called  me/spoke on the phone and he asked me what was eating and I told him was cooking chicken,rice, beans etc and I forgot to tell him that the spice /sauce of the beans I had  in the grill burned.

Someone who have experienced it how you counteract it?

21 days left  for the bacopa

I wouldn't panic about this , forgetting to say things is very normal let alone in withdrawal/recovery.

I'm for ever opening the press and forgetting what I wanted ,I take a deep breath don't panic and it comes to me what I wanted .I strongly believe it's the anxiety taking over and not that we have a problem with our memory .

Don't let spirals take you over ,learn to spot the panic or anxiety riseing .

[Miko789]

thanks PB for your words. Sometimes we do forget that's for sure.I need though a supplement for concetration/memory to boost memory due to withdrawal from risperidone. Theres lots of them. which one is best I don't know and I hope bacopa comes in due time and will help.cheers

[Miko789]

 

Very tense and tired with brain fog today . Even the smallest interactions with people can make to confrontations. I have  intense brain fog atm.

I just ordered turmeric capsules curcumin from here

https://www.healthessentialsdirect.co.uk/products/buy-turmeric-capsules

was dispatched today, estimated arrival 6-7 working days. Next Wednesday

The 13^th of September is my cousin's wedding and I am 50/50 to deciding to go.

Also I have a trip to the UK on the 12th November and I really don't want to miss it. I have to check first how much the tickets will cost for the event and plan ahead.

[bhasski]

Hi Miko,

U still on some dosage of seroxat or completely off ?

I m too taking ayurvedic supplements like Brahmi( Bacopa) ... little does it help.. only for the sake to keep trying with other herbs...

Otherwise i feel i have left my side completely on time ( though which is besy remedy 😃)

[bhasski]

Please do tell your experience of turmeric .. As I live in India, we do consume turmeric a lot...

I have tried taking it rather directly with honey .. but has to left as it is a burden with other treatment I am taking.

 

I know it contains curcumin which is a precursor for seretonin .. hoping it would result best.. waiting to see your experience.

[Miko789]

 

 Hi Bhasski.I am going to use bacopa (brahmi). Does it help? It has good reviews and is considered to be top of the line of nutrition supplements.

Turmeric=Lifesaver.

Thank you Bhasski for suggestion to use/take honey with turmeric instead of water

How do you cope with restless leg?

 

+3 days  for the bacopa

[bhasski]

Thanks for replying.

I am stiff sufffering with restless left leg along with neck pain and various other symptoms. Feeling fatigued.

Just managing somehow.

 

Go on with Brahmi .. its considered good.. stop if it reacts adversely... irony is best of supplements can do so in wdl. 

 

I am taking brahmi vati with gold ( Ayurvedic preparation) along with Kotakkal Manasmitravatkam for memory. Still waiting to see some benefits.

 

Some questions

What effect did you feel after turmeric ?

Is it pure or with piperin?

How much and when are you taking it ?

I was just saying that it may or may not help..

its as same with magnesium or omega-3 as suggested here. I tried both, but rarely noticed any good effect , rather had upset stomach, bloated...

 

When in wdl, we expect for relief but things, meds or supplements are not processed as a normal functional body would.

I got  frustration several times because best of things didnt work.

This adverse mind thing I have mentioned.

 

Thanks for replying back.

[bhasski]

How are you doing Miko ?

[Miko789]

@bhasski Thanks for asking.

I had an argument with my father.Not good..Very stressful.I'm very worried bout my future.

 

Fortunately my bacopa arrived today 45 calendar days from india . happy about that.

[Miko789]

I have /need to get a job.Can I have/keep  a job while taking zyprexa.?Is it feasible/?

be very careful with the bacopa, I had a bad reaction and it totally messed me up and caused me to have zero sleep for 2 days, start with very very small dose

[brassmonkey]

I'm sorry to hear about the family problems, with any luck they will resolve themselves.  Many of us had no option but to keep working while going through WD.  I found it a great distraction. It will require some adjustments but it is quite possible to do.  We have several members who entered and attended med school while in WD along with others who earned advanced college degrees.  It's all a matter of priorities.

[rupa]

Here in India we mix turmeric and sugar or honey in milk and drink.

[Miko789]

update

The bacopa had no adverse effects but I have a question about it. 1st day ok,  2nd day because I eat little food I took it and had nausea because of that. So take it with your  full meal. Sleep was solid full 8hours

 

[bhasski]

 

Great update . . happy to hear about your sleep.

I have been taking it since 2 months with little to no positive effect. Neither does it seem any adverse.

 

Go with it ... i have found to use it for extended periods to see its effect..

[Miko789]

yes it's good stuff,I'll order  more supply.

[Miko789]

 

 

Hi  all,

On 01/01/18 my health insurance expires,was registered. I get them free , no participation for meds. Now I take/pay only the zyprexa,I can afford for now 16e/month. Not good for these drugs to be registered on file to national health insurance because if you get into trouble then you are *****ed up.

From July 17 I'm free of risperidone, from that day. no A/P or A/D is registered on file on national health insurance.It's a bit complicated with the health insurance. I don't have an option tbh. If I deny then I have no health insurance.I'm a bit conflicted.Plz suggest

I got a job on Saturday at the zoo park as an animal carer/look after.The agreement was for 6h 12.00-18.00.No pay, volunteering.But these guys are really exploiting.Its private zoo so its a business. After speaking with the person in charge she told me to come and work.I told her that the agreement was for 1200-18,00 6h but I got that she hadn't read my application and they had no work to offer for this time. So no more free work. Cheap workforce.

[Miko789]

Started tapering olanzapine today.

[rupa]

All the best Miko789.

Hope your taper will go smooth.

Thank you Rupa, you too,  all the best with your taper.

[Miko789]

 

Two years ago start of 2016 I could do one thing during the day,work out, etc. struggle to do two and at the end of day was reck. Now two years after I can do twice as much four things during the day, very happy about that but very tired and have strong headache.

 

Sleep is good for now,

go to sleep now. 00.07 here

[Miko789]

update

3rd week on 3,75mg olanzapne.

I've been following good diet with high protein/low carb  omega 3's fish oil,dairy  products mostly and frequent exercise. Also  bacopa monnieri and curcumin,LIFESAVER.

I resumed my Chinese lessons today.After one year I don't feel confident but I've made progress.My goal is to reach level 3 and take the HSK 3.I'm currently on level 1.

I wish healing to all.

 

[rupa]

Miko789,

Happy to know you are doing well.

What are the symptoms of these 3 week taper?how is sleep?what are the day time symptoms?

[Miko789]

Hi Rupa, sorry for late reply,haven't logged in.

Doing ok these 4 weeks,tapering is going smooth. No significant daytime symptoms except some fogginess and increased sensitivity to sound but I cope.

In the morning sometimes my feet  get cramps.

 

It's 5 weeks off seroxat and have some fogginess as I mentioned, if I reinstate will it be better or worse dunno.

Olanzapine causes high blood sugar and don't want to have, having good diet is key.

Miko

[Miko789]

Decided to move out.

 

 

[Miko789]

Today I had a panic attack,breathing rapid,anxiety hit me.

Had a duel with another driver, biker,he came in front of me and asked me the reason. Sob he was.I replied and drove by, wasn't worth it

Had lavender for calm and anxiety.

[rupa]

Miko789

Congratulations you are off seroxat.If you have olanzapine 2.5 mg tablets tapering will be easy.I am cutting 0.625 mg every month.

[Miko789]

Thank you Rupa,

Seroxat is out.

 

I had to updose to 5mg olanzapine, I had anxiety couldn't cope, my cut to 3,75mg from 5 mg was smooth, I held for 4 weeks, sleep was ok and energy was kinda ok but the cut to 1 tablet(2,5mg) from 3,75mg on 19/11 brought problems with intense anxiety. My life is not easy where I live and they cause me stress that's why the anxiety. It's not good for my health.  I wake up with stress in the morning too many disturbing noises. And other stressors with gf. Very frustrated with my father, he makes communication very difficult.
