holistic help?

[MissElephantLover]

I’ve had pretty prominent adhd and general anxiety/stress and have tried too many chemical meds for my liking all with not so likable side effects among not even helping with the issue, (stopped adhd and anxiety chemical meds after high school) and I’m trying to find a holistic Dr in my area or anyone who has experience with that kind of stuff and can offer advice on what natural medicine options I have that may help with my constantly overactive/worrying about one thing or another mind

hey, just read this . I often see a post when I’m looking for some light at the end of a tunnel for me . Are you on anything currently , prescribed ? What’s the worst of your symptoms etc currently that you are trying to get on top of ?

I’m currently prescribed lamictol for epilepsy but other than that I really only use mary Jane for my stress🙃but the worst of my symptoms is probably that I get super easily overwhelmed especially when I’m trying to do or worrying about several things at once (just in general I’m easily overwhelmed) and sometimes I feel like I’m not in control of my emotions or like I’m trapped in my own mind and I’ll just sometimes randomly feel like crying for what feels like no reason, I do also get easily irritated over things I know are pretty insignificant

I used to be prescribed aderall and Zoloft but neither had really helped and actually ended up kinda messing up my appetite (making me not eat as many calories as I should’ve)

Sounds so like me , but I used to always cope, until I was put on and taken off various anti depressants . When i WAS coping , I swore by cod liver oil high dose and vit d tablets . But since all feel to shit, I’ve become sensitive to so many natural things making me anxious heady hot in face and really achy . Can’t figure it out.

Have you thought about seeing someone that can do blood work and check all your vit and mineral levels etc and give you suggestions ? ( can’t remember the word for them ) but one has said they would do this for me is my dr does the blood works , for £190.

Does the smoke actually help you ?? Do you drink caffeine ? Also I use an app called DARE. I’m not an all fan , but it was mentioned and I got it , free trial initially , and it does help at times !! Sorry I can’t be much more use at the moment , also trying to figure this crap out

Looking for my son also.He's 23- Adderal really messed him up. I mean, he was on the highest dose at 65mgXR then came the anxiety so gaufacine and hydroxycine was added, then the anger..so abilify was added. He had a manic episode where we had to call the police and 302 him. He was in the ER for 20 hours without seeing a doctor. The next morning he kept asking to see a doctor and was told to sit down and be quiet which aggervated him more so he got the bed frame and rammed it in the door to get out. Security and cop came and took him down in a chokehold- he fought back and now has a felony charge. He spent 2 weeks on the psych floor where they weaned him off everything but the abilify and added depakote. Charges will be expunged in 9 months. He's really upset now since he has a hard time finding work.

The depekote doesn't seem to be working now and here we are again at 1000mg and he has such anger and anxiety. I'm so tired of these meds. He seems to be the type where the meds stop working for him. We had the gene sight test done and his doctor has no idea what to do anymore (that's comforting..insert eyeroll)

Anyway..sorry I got that all out but it kills you seeing your child suffer so much. I found 2 items I am researching. One was in additude magizine and it's called Hardy Nutrients. They have alot of videos on there from doctors and parents you can watch. I did google the doctors and they are legit. We tried it but he needs to get off his Depakote first. I can say the customer service is really good.

The other is called Brillia. This is what i ordered and it should be coming this week. I was told it can be taken with prescribed medication.

Good luck! I hate these guessing games
