Thiamine

[saraoutwest]

I’ve joined the thiamine experiment. 4gm daily. It’s only been a week but a huge difference noted in my energy levels. I don’t have the overwhelming exhaustion in the afternoons. Also noted less jittery nesss as well. Early days. Tremor still annoying as hell.

Welcome Saraoutwest

The daily dose recommended by Dr Costantini to RoyProp is 4 000 mg not 4 mg - I guess that's a typo, but just in case...

[saraoutwest in reply to Xenos]

Yes 4 gms (grams) thanks

did you do your blood work or just started on it

[saraoutwest in reply to hanifab23]

No blood work. Just started it after determining that high dose b vits are safe. Others in this forum seem to be using withgood success

My husband started taking it when he was essentially starving while being psychotic and he is lots better and gained 10 pounds.

Has anyone using the large doses of thiamine experienced less wakefulness or hallucinations during the night?

I received the B1 and will start taking it. My neuro, who is very open said try it but she should thought 4g a lot suggested I start with 1x day. What do u think. Also when do you take it? Thank you.

[Hidden in reply to cshamb]

B1 = thiamine HCL

Start at lower dose.

Excess B1 is passed out of the body.

2g breakfast - 2g lunch

Do you take any other B Vits as well , I thought I read somewhere that you should also take a VitB complex ? 😀
