Hi, I've been Peating for 1 year and a half now, and this "diet"(fruits, milk, butter, eggs, meat, chocolate) has cured my horrible acne and sebhorreic dermatitis completely, my skin looks great.
Now, I have a problem with panic and I'm pretty sure I also have GAD, I've tried tianeptine, taurine (up to 3 grams), DHEA, cyproheptadine, hydroxyzine, propranolol (up to 40mg), pregabalin, clonidine, phenibut (up to 5 grams), niacinamide, theanine, zinc, mirtazapine, vitamin D, bacopa, rhodiola, phenylpiracetam, buspirone, high dose inositol, progesterone, chelated magnesium, NAC... at different doses and in combination (sometimes 6 of those per day) but I still get crippling panic attacks as soon as I leave my house. Now, those drugs do cure my GAD, insomnia and obssesive thoughts. I also exercise 4 times per week. I get 30 mins of sun every day (in my backyard).
So I can say that I've tried...
I don't really know if this is a protracted benzo withdrawal or if this is just the way I've become, I was never like this until I was put on a benzo (for insomnia), and it seems I might have to get back to one.
Now I know excess serotonin/norepinephrine and messing with the GABAergic system is bad, I get it, I've read the horror stories in survivingantidepressants and benzo buddies, but you see, my family doesn't fully understand what I'm going through, they've helped me this year but they say I have to get a job in january or they'd kick me out of the house (dead serious).
Now I think I'd rather lose my creativity, emotions and cognition than to starve to death (or get killed) in the streets (I live in a 3rd world country)
So my psychiatrist is offering Lexapro (20mg x day), and if it doesn't work then it'll be either Effexor or Nardil plus a benzo.
My question is, do you know any med or supplement to ameliorate the damage these meds could produce?, I still have all those meds I listed, but I'd like to discover more neuroprotective meds, also, another concern is my gut function, I don't want to end up with IBS(again), is there any med that could protect my gut?
Thank you.
