what daily dose?Taurine has been great for me. I get hair mineral tests done and my most recent one the minerals were the most balanced ever. Started taking Taurine 6 months ago.
Taurine makes me extremely readily angry, whether taken internally or applied topically even the slightest upset can make me me feel intensely irritated.
@Frankdee20 I don't know if it's a blood sugar drop as I don't experience typical symptoms associated with that. Many substances be they food, drink, supplements etc can put me in a bad mood, I seem to be always in a state of either anxiety, anger or depression and most things if they help one will likely exacerbate another!
I forget if you have tried Diamant.It was the worst 4-7 years of my life, waiting to reach homeostasis. Amazing how it's now a distant memory. However, a lot of psychological damage ensued. I have to try and relearn things again, not like math or academics. I mean how to function without that default of helplessness. Terrible terrible experience for me, that initial experience, the waiting, the roller coaster of being ok, then being depressed. They mess up your brain. SSRIS are like doing 65 in a 15 mph zone, it's not normal to prevent the metabolism of serotonin. Our brains were hi jacked.

If you put some on your temples and jugular veins area and go for a walk. Remind yourself to spread your vision out as far peripherally as possible, don't look down, smile. Check out how beautiful everything is.

Well, you give me hope, I stopped klonopin 2 years ago and am still in hell, can't leave my house without meds, only 2 years to go.. (ppl from benzo w/d forums also estimate the duration of the protracted w/d to be 3- 7 years)
Yeah... I dont take them often.Damn, it does get better but the trick is no reintroduction of benzodiazepines. One could even go as far to say no psychoactive meds, as other systems interfere with GABA system indirectly

holy jeez no way that makes me sick
the amount of people in my family and close friendgroups on benzos is unreal, honestly might be 50%, its a sick drug too, really makes people sociopathic in my opinion
this really gives me zero hope to get any of them off of it either

What did you even do in those 4-7 years?
What ends up happening in the first 3-18 months ? Well for me, and what's typical with surviving a negative reaction, I could not function. Everything associated with normalcy goes out the window. There were periods of extreme hypersensitivity to light, sound, food, chemicals, etc. I'd be ok one minute then dysphoric the next. Time used to slow down, minutes seemed like hours, lost weight, lost the ability and energy to socialize. I did not leave the house, I could not take medicine anymore, I could not take supplements. I already knew it would take a long time to heal. Nobody believed it was from the antidepressant, nobody believed they could cause complete internal imbalance, effecting someone so profoundly. I had restlessness, not as bad as the initial akithisia, but bad. Insomnia, extreme anxiety, profoundly pathologic depression, thoughts of suicide. I did the best I could to survive each day. Eventually the initial intensity waxed and waned, leaving me with in an apathetic, numb, depersonalized state. This was at the 2-4 year mark. I had no affect, my voice was like a dead monotone drawl, slow, no smiles, no spark in my eye, flat. It was then I was able to tolerate alcohol, 4-6 years mark, I drank heavily, I was working though. I had a child, and a marriage that I allowed my state of mind to destroy. I destroyed it. Then you just accept you could be dead inside for the rest of your life, and you stop fighting with yourself, or letting it frustrate, and upset you. Not only are you battling the normal depression from the chemical imbalance, your battling the state of frustration, and anger over what happened to you. Eventually you don't realize it, but as time passes, your nervous system gets stronger. One day, I was able to take things again, and slowly but surly, I gave my brain things it needed so badly for so many years. It's been almost 10 years since I first had the experience. I will never take a strongly Serotonin modifying drug or agent again, never take an antidepressant again.
