3 grams. I'll take before bed. I hope I can sleep after.
Sorry for your loss, I hope, and know that you will recover from these difficult times.Ok so my mom just died and I would like to take something to help. Feeling just to sad and out of it, from grief. I like the ashwaganda but I feel after a few days, it makes me too tired. I'm having a hard time talking to my fiends and family. Also does ashwaganda lower cortisol or just balance it or whatever? Within a month I've had 2 pets die and now my mother died, so I'm just in need of something. Not gonna do anti depressants.
And take into account what he's saying. You're in a normal part of grief. Do things that you love. Hang out with people that truly enjoy your company. Your mother would want to be happy, enjoy your life, and work hard as f**k to accomplish any goals that you set out for yourself. Do that, and I'm sure she will be very proud of you.I would honestly have to recommend against taking anything mind / emotion altering to get through this time. At least any mood altering drug or "supplement". Giving yourself a crutch to lean on when you have the ability to stand on your own is going to weaken you not make you stronger. Things that seem to take the edge off the world for you are not really doing so. They are taking away your edge. You can make it through this time, but don't turn to drugs or a supplement. Your emotions have to be dealt with and worked through. Dealing with them only becomes harder the longer you put off going through the emotions.
You are not clinically or medically depressed, you are mourning. You are sad and feeling the pain of loss. That is not the same thing as clinical depression triggered by a chemical imbalance. That is the mourning process and things you not only should feel but need to in order to heal completely.
The best way to get away from sorrow is activity and happiness. Watch comedies, go have fun, see friends even when you don't feel like it. Allow yourself to smile and don't force guilt on yourself for having a good time. You Mother would want you to keep on smiling and having a joyful life. So do it for her if you can't for yourself.
Love powder city. I take tyrosine everyday. Tried the mucana prureins, didn't like it for some reason. Don't remember why. 5htp caused weight gain, in me. Common or women from 5htp. What exactly should I feel mood wise from red maca, do you think? I know it is normal to grieve. It's really devastating to lose a parent. It's really hard to not, think about it. Some stuff I found out after she died thru her things, make it harder also. I found a picture with her teeth missing, I'm sure they were knocked out. And other things.Sorry for your loss, I hope, and know that you will recover from these difficult times.
Powder city.c om or hardrhino are websites you want to go. Wait until labor day for sales.
1) Mucuna puriens or tyrosine
2) 5htp
3) buy yourself something that may motivate you to hit the gym, because GYM is a MUST (eg: agmatine sulfate increases NO and there's even some research "claiming" to help with depression)
4) good friends and family for support
5) GABA and or phenibut (can't take phenibut everyday) for good sleep
6) marijuana (max 2-3x per week)
7) stay focused on goals you want to accomplish in life to keep your mind busy.
Good luck my friend. Be patient. Even anti depressants like SSRI take 2-3 weeks to kick in.
From what I've quickly read, it will not be of any benefit to you, considering you already take tyrosine and have tried Mucuna prureins. Those 2 help with maintaining dopamine levels, And 5htp helps with maintaining good serotonin levels. Those two neurotransmitters regulate good mood and a sense of well being among many other things. If you couldnt achieve that via taking those supplements (even if it was just a placebo effect), then red maca wouldn't make a difference either.Love powder city. I take tyrosine everyday.

The red maca is definitely not what's causing the back pain. There's no mechanism that it attributes to that could possibly cause that. Understand red maca is loaded with vitamins and minerals and electrolytes and trace minerals already so there is no need to take your other "10 vitamins". Also red maca would not make your ass flatter. If anything it would help your body store it's adipocytes there through hormonal balancing therefore making it larger. I really believe what you're experiencing is extremely odd and requires further evaluation. Have you further upped the dosage of red maca to the recommend nine grams?I skipped the red maca and by back was feeling my normal pain. I took the red maca with the my usual 10 vitamins before bed. The whole next day my back was burning and hurting bad. When I took during the day I didn't get back pain, but it was making me sluggish thru my workout. Not to say red maca is not a good product but the back pain was too much, both days I took before bed. Honestly my ass was looking flatter, since I started too. But I've been doing squats everyday and was seeing a result until I started it. I do love the way it tastes but I can't get into anything when my back hurts like fhaf. I also take a lot of supplements so maybe my combo was
Yeah you know I was going to suggest that but sometimes for some people it can make you feel more depressed after a short while. Varies.This may be a better question for your doctor. Short term therapy with a benzo like klonopin can do great for situations like that. This is not a time to experiment and play around, go with what is proven.
I had to use klonopin when my first pet passed because I didn't no how to cope.
Don't over abuse it and don't take it for to long and you won't have to worry about any of the addicting properties.
Yesterday my back was killing me from squats and my back pain I have, and the way I took the red maca. I broke my back before, so my back hurts all the time. I have pinched nerves in my back. I did a ct scan and mri and many other tests.
I think it got my mind off it. I can't remember what it said but l dopa on the bottle. Could not find the same one after I went to the store. I had all my levels checked in my blood tests. Not sure about vitamin d level, I do have that but never taken it. Mucana prureins I didn't like, I remember.What did you like about the ldopa
You are comparing yourself using antidepressants to someone who probably has some serious issues that you aren't aware of. Natural does NOT equal healthy or safe. Nothing is more natural than death itself. There are plenty of poisons in nature. You are saying you would rather take something that may activate multiple pathways, shotgun approach, because it is natural vs. Something that has been designed with a purpose to activate a specific pathway.I don't feel like I want to take anti depressants. Had many friends taking them and I would rather feel sad, than nothing at all. Had a girlfriend that had 2 mini strokes from Zoloft. I just feel anti depressants are toxic, so I'm looking for something natural that will take my mind of it. The last time I saw her, I had to kick her out of my house because she said she was going to stab me with a knife.
^ Sound advice. Going and talking to someone is a great first step. You can unload some of the stress and anxiety before seeing a Dr. to evaluate you and prescribe drugs.You are comparing yourself using antidepressants to someone who probably has some serious issues that you aren't aware of.

I am also not saying you should go to a doctor and get drugged up. I am suggesting you find a pro to talk to, who will listen to you. Because it sounds like you are dealing with some hard issues that anyone could use a help getting a handle on. No shame. Never forget your worth.
This isn't about taking a drug or chemical to feel better. It is about seeing a new perspective on things that are bothering you. The reason everything is in the front of your thoughts and not in the background is because you are smart and your brain is doing its job ...trying to fit things into your perspective of the world. The problem is, we all have a limited perspective. We only know what we know. Talking to someone who can get us to step just 1 foot to the right and see a new angle can be a huge help.
I know you hurt and you don't want to hear this and may think I don't understand and I am being a jerk. But I DO understand some of what you are going through. I've been there and I wish I had someone strong to talk to ....someone who could have pushed me in a new direction.
I tried taking almost everything I could think of. Sometimes I would find something and have a couple of good days and convince myself, yeah this is the stuff! And a week later I was looking for something else. It kept going through cycles and never got better and I was adding frustration to all of it and making myself feel like I was crazy, even though I wasn't, which made me even more afraid to talk to someone, thinking I wouldn't like what they told me.
I hope this helps, sincerely, and I want to see this thread start to turn and see you saying you are getting better.
Going to your PCP and getting a referral to one your insurance will cover is easier.^ Sound advice. Going and talking to someone is a great first step. You can unload some of the stress and anxiety before seeing a Dr. to evaluate you and prescribe drugs.
A therapist can recommend Drs. in the area which is WAY better than trying to pick one blindly on the net. If traditional antidepressants are not something you want to pursue, there are LOTS of off label products Drs. are prescribing for depression that do not have the side effects and the mood blunting effects you seem to be worried about. I was worried about that as well. When I met with my Dr for the first time I told him so, and he made a treatment plan that did not include them.
Sometimes we get stuck in feedback loops and keep repeating the same things over and over again. Drs and therapists can help quickly break us out of our self destructive behaviors and stop the negative self talk that limits our ability to change. For me it was the quickest way to free myself from my own worst enemy (me). You had some pretty good advice in the thread already, i just thought I would add a dash of my experience in as well. I hope you are doing better.
