Anxiety w/PD

[twss]

If I could remove anxiety it seems the other symptoms would be easier to manage.

Take Pristiq anti-depressant.

The raging war in the mind.

Suggestions?

Take 4g of B1 HCL

Adding Magnesium Milate tomorrow. 1250mg recommended.

Until i got my anxiety under control (Zoloft 100 mg daily)

I was like you.

Please seek medical opinion on changing meds or increasing dose. The first anti anxiety you try is not always the best for you.

Without anxiety i felt so much better.

I take Duloxetine (prescribed) and GABA (supplement, non prescription) that have helped me. I also lessened amount of Sinimet I was taking as this seemed to exacerbate anxiety.

it occurs to me that you might be takng too much b1. how long have you been on 4 grams/dailu. did you start lower and over time go up tp 4? I ask becausse a week ago I decreased from 4 to 1 and i feel less anxious.

I’ve been on B1 for over a year. Have backed down to 3000 for over a month and didn’t see any change. Thursday I added Magnesium Malate and I have seen improvement.

twss,

Magnesium malate is a more absorbable form of magnesium. Magnesium can be synergistic with B-1 because it helps convert it to its active form as outlined in the following link :

This could be one possible explanation of why magnesium made a difference as far as your B-1 intake and response.

Try Hardy’s daily essential nutrients. It has most required nutrients, vitamins and minerals plus a lot of other useful compounds in it like NAC, ALA, etc. it is made in Canada so strictly quality controlled so better than lots of individual supplements from China. It really helped my husbands anxiety and made him feel much better as the anxiety exacerbated his other symptoms.
