Upping the dose

[alfreddy7]

Dosing up on my Gaba.

Feel like 1 pill is not enough.

I know a person left a review on the gaba product that she used 2 pills at first then tapered to 1 after her anxiety went down.

A whole cocktail of things.

Gaba

Ashwagandha

Magnesium

Genius Joy(mainly just vitamins)

St. John’s wort (only when I remember to take them)

And bunch of other multi-vitamins since me and my wife are trying to conceive

If you are trying to treat depression and anxiety with natural or herbal products they work very little if at all. Ive tried and read a lot about them. They work marginally. You should talk to your doctor about options including medication.

Hello sadman99

I agree with you they only work to a certain level. I know medication works and I have nothing against it. I just never been a fan of taking medication for anything. I’ve always preferred natural remedies for everything, headaches, blood pressure, stress, etc.

I did tell my doctor about what I’m taking she is keeping me on them. I guess eventually I will have to take them.

Hey AlfredyI didnt and dont mean to tell you what to do with your life. I wish the herbs worked with me. I tried St Johns for a year or two and no success. Even my therapist who is also into natural cures said the effects are minimal with someone like me. So I am on meds now. Wish I wasn’t and wish I could also go the herbal route. I really do hope it works for you though. My wife who is rock solid with no mental issues (uch! Must be nice!) is all organic and natural cures so I get it. I really hope it works for you man but if you start to freak there are other options. Believe me I wish I didn’t have to take meds! But such is my life.

I know. I understand no hurt feelings or anything. I guess it’s just a personal choice. I means like my doctor said “you’re still taking pills”Weather it’s medication or natural herbs. And that is a good point. But also one of my other reasons is because I suffer from ulcerative colitis and migraines. So my dr. Does not wanna put me in to many medications which is a win-win for me.

If the day ever comes where I have no choice I will take them and hope I get better. After all time does heal all.

It’s funny you say that my wife is the same. She is probably the healthiest human being I know. Must be nice lol
