I have GAD!! constant and annoying worrying thoughts which i want to control without drugs! i have come up with a program that i would love you all to comment on and mabie reccommend dosages or add ons. Thanks.
NIACINAMIDE- 500mg 1-4 times a day with vitamin B6 for it to work, mabie 50mg of b6 each time i take it. Sound right?
INOSITOL- not sure about the dosage!! mabie 1-10g. Anyone please comment there.
Do i need a vit B complex too along with all the others? like a megs vit B 50 one??
A good multivitamin daily.
Fish oil, the soft gel ones so i dont get stomach ache, as my stomach is very weak and has functional dyspepsia! :(.
How much do i take? found one called OMEGA-3 1000mg EPA 180MG DHA 120MG.
How many caps a day?Thought i would take 50mg of picamilon a day as i have bought it and it doesnt do much alone but mabie with all the vit b's it might?
Any one care to add things on that are nessecsery though or comment on it i would be delighted!!

In reply to GAD!! please look at my supplement regieme! anyone, posted by clairey on December 23, 2003, at 8:07:47
Hello Claire,
I tried niacinimide but it didnt do anything for me, but dont let that put you off s I find it hard to get any supplement to do much for me (which I actually find a little odd).
You dose looks ok but dont neglect a B complex as supplementing with one B vit only can lead to shortages of others if you are not careful.
I'd throw a nice heavy Magnesium dose into the pot too and its often said that selenium helps some people with anxiety (its a healthy thing to take anyway so worth adding). Say 500mg magnesium at least and 200mcg (micro not milli) selenium.
The fish oil is one of those supplements you can take as much as you like really, but i'd go for a minimum of 3 caps a day and probably work up to 3 times that much if you get no response with just 3 a day to see if the higher dose helps. Just work the dose up gradually soyou dont shock your digestive system.
Phil
