I am new to posting on this board, though I have been a voyeur for some time. I find the information much more helpful than anything my Pdoc can provide. My diag. is GAD - stressed, irritable, moody, racing thoughts of doom & gloom.
In response to information I have read on this board, I decided to order the vet grade tryptophan. I did not have a good experience. It affected my the same way as the SSRI's. Mind racing, heart palpatations, no sleep - even at very small doses. The reaction with the Tryp was milder, but similar. Dosage was 500mg.
I have tried Wellbutrin (made me angry, irritable)
Zyprexa - no noticable effect.
Neurontin - no noticeable effect, and the horrible SSRI's. The only drug I have had sucess with, unlike most people, is Buspar. However, this is become less effective, and I would like to find a natuaral alternative. I worry abouth the long term effects of Buspar, and don't want to really increase my dosage (15mg x 2. Any suggestions or advice would be appreciated.
