Anxiety and stimulants
What's up bro's? I am trying to kick a two year stimulant addiction, LOL. When I take them I feel like **** and when I do not I feel like ****. I know my adrenals are shot and that my nody is in fight or flight. Lately, I have been having extreme anxiety while on and off and some occasional panic attacks. Is there anything to take to help with coming off or tpo help with the panic attacks. I bought some St. Johns Wort today and some Adrenal Support. Talk to me! Should I stop cold turkey or ween myself off. Any advice is more than appreciated!

St.johns wort will work good if you take it consistantly. Also 5htp, but I don't know about using it consistantly.

You will feel like **** for like 3-4 days when coming off stims.Take l tyrosin along with 5 htp and should be fine.

Well, I did not abuse stimulants or take more than the normal dosage. I have just consistantly used Redline and/or Clenbutrx for the last two years. Not necessarily everyday, but just about. The anxiety attacks just came on recently with stress being a major factor in haing them.
I will definitely take the St. Johns Wort everyday and may pick up some Valerian too. I also have L-Tyrosine that I will take. Maybe 6g spread over 3 doses. - 12-19-2004, 12:08 PM

At night, I take L-theanine if I need some help relaxing before going to bed. - 12-19-2004, 12:30 PM

Try ALCAR that really improves my mood although I´m not having severe problems.
And tongcat Ali did really help me relax and feel the benzodiazepine-like mood and loss of anxiety. - 12-21-2004, 09:37 PM
Kava Kava is good for relaxing as well. It's supposed to be "natures valium"....lol.
Look...your gonna feel like crap for a short while when you come off those things if you've done em for a long time consistantly. Just bite the bullet and hang in there.
ALCAR is great. I can tell a difference at about 1g three times a day. - 12-21-2004, 10:24 PM

5HTP has worked great for me in the past. Kava Kava is supposed to relax you, although for me it was just a placebo. Melatonin or valerian root at night is best. Like someone said earlier in the thread, its gonna suck for like the 1st week. I used to have addiction issues so I know where your at.

I got some Tyramine powder last night, so today is day one (hopefully I'll make it through) of substituting Tyramine for Ephedrine, and I'm gonna keep at the caffeine for a while. The plan is to get off all stims, but one step at a time.
This is all just bull**** though until I get my modafinil, muahahahahahaha
Drugs are bad, mmmmmkay - 12-22-2004, 04:47 PM
