Hello everyone!
After 13+ years of prescription meds (and SJW) for anxiety/depression I quite everything a year ago (the withdrawal was HELL - the Klonopin was the worst) but I made it through and am functioning without drugs.
I am just now connecting health issues I've been having for the past year to the possible removal of serotonin from my system. The symptoms include severe and I mean SEVERE bloating, IBS-like symptoms, sleeplessness, headaches, body aches, fatigue.
I've used SJW (Joy Pills brand) in the past with good results and am considering going back to them. But I'm also reading a lot about the 5-HTP and L-Tryptophan (sp?).
I'm wondering if anyone has experience with side effects from removing a prescription level of serotonin (long-term high dose). Could my whole system being messed up from being on prescriptions for so long?
Any suggestions on where I should start adding an herbal mix to stop the bloating and body aches?
Thanks for any and all suggestions!
Holly
