> Bulldog never said it was a silver bullet or could cure me but I'm not spending thousands. This doc I see see's you once and then just repeats the testing in two months and then adjusts hormones. Right now my " tank is on empty " so some will surely help. As far as supplements no one's said to take them. Even the pharmacist who I brought up all these subjects with as wanted to pick his brain didn't recommend that I take any. I asked why can't they have a substitution of benzos as I've been on them too many years. And he mentioned as store was about to close well they have neurotransmitter testing by urine. No pressure. There was a symposium in Charlotte I wish I'd known about on March 29 where a team of ob-gyns like my doc and compounding pharmacists gave speeches or something. It's on google how I found it. I'm getting most of my info from the books I'm reading yes reading Suzanne Somers. And a lot is garbage to me but a lot is valid in my opinion. But back to life before SSRI's. I was happy now that's something to hold onto. Phillipa
Life before ssris no longer exists as you were young than. I to realize I can no longer capture my youth. Things change and the body and brain change. That is called aging. For some reason the hormones did not make me feel better. I have a theory that as the brain ages it can no longer utilize the higher hormone levels. Now some do say they feel better and maybe you'll be one of them. My wife tried the bioidentical hormones and started bleeding and stopped them. She lowered the dose and still was bleeding. So she stopped them as she feared they might cause cancer.
