I figured I would just start my own thread, since this is going to be an ongoing matter. Two weeks ago I was diagnosed with generalized anxiety disorder with symptoms of OCD, social anxiety, panic, and mild depression. First, I was put on sertraline for my anxiety/depression, but, it just made my weakened libido even worse, so that was scratched. Yesterday, I was prescribed wellbutrin (150mg starter dose) to "fight the depression first" as the doc said, and given clonazepam (.5mg) to use as needed for extreme anxiety, then, if the wellbutrin works on the depression and doesn't worsen the anxiety, we'll go from there to find a treatment for the anxiety. To give a backround, my mother and grandfather (on mother's side) have both been diagnosed as clinically depressed. My father hasn't been diagnosed with anything, but, he has terrible anxiety and is on 3 blood pressure medications. My major symptoms are low mood, chronic anxiety, lethargy (lack of motivation), low libido.
My current supps, as follows:
Piracetam, 800mg 3x
Alpha GPC, 300mg 3x
Vinpocetine 10mg 2x
NOW Foods multi
Vit. C, 3g
Vit. E, 400 I.U.
ZMA
Milk thistle, 300mg
Bacopa, 600mg
L-theanine, ~100-500mg as needed
EPA/DHA, 3g total
Inositol, ~5-10g
Taurine, 3g
I also have 5-htp, B-6, N-Acetyl-L-tyrosine, Deprenyl, D-phenylalanine, DLPA, and some fat burners lying around. I don't use them for fear of interaction with my medication.
I eat a pretty healthy, but bland diet consisting of lean meats, chicken, eggs, cheese and whole grains. I exercise 4 times a week, as well.
I started a thread over at AL, as well, but wanted some additional opinions on matters here. Would there be any negative interactions between my current supps and those drugs mentioned? I'm also considering adding hydergine or aniracetam to the stack. Thanks.
