[Starting Supplements]

I came across this place on facebook and I have been reading through it a little at a time....so much information and so much to learn.  I did the blood work and the hair analysis, got the results and had a consult with Morley Robbins.  I can't say enough about how finding what minerals I am deficient in and supplementing has helped me.  It won't hurt anyone to follow the link and read.  I'm so thankful that I found it.  Prayers for us all.

[No more diet coke or adderall-vyvanse!!]

I have/had a terrible addiction to diet coke (I drink it from morning til I go to bed) and I have been off and on adhd meds for years...this last go round has been for about 6 years... I was on a downward spiral a few months ago...waking up, popping the vyvanse in my mouth, having energy for a couple of hours then I would just feel exhausted, fuzzy thinking, forgetful.  I was completely miserable but yet could not wait to get up and pop that pill every morning.  If I would not get my prescription from the doc in time and had to go the weekend without my vyvanse I was in a complete panic and rush to find a friend that had some that I could borrow.  This adhd med had control of my entire life and I was terrified bc I knew that it was slowly killing me.

 

At the end of last year I had some blood work and a hair analysis done then spoke to someone once the results came in.  I also had to fill out paperwork stating the meds that I was currently on.  During the consult I was made aware of how caffeine and adhd meds deplete magnesium, potassium, etc and take a toll on the adrenal glands.  I decided to start supplementing as directed.  In January I held my nose and jumped in...I had my last diet coke on Jan 18, 2016.  On Jan. 28 I had my last vyvanse.  Welcome to HELL!!!

 

I crashed.  slept.  had anxiety attacks.  bouts of sadness and depression.  What I can say that I think  helped me through so far is taking magnesium baths.  I was told to start off slowly and did.  1 cup of plain epsom salt and 1/2 cup of baking soda mixed in a tub of warm-hot water.  I was to soak for 20 minutes, twice a week.  Every couple of weeks I added more epsom salt and baking soda to the point to where I am now taking a hot bath in 2 cups of epsom salt and one cup of baking soda..I do this now 2-3 times a week, I sleep well and it helps to  take the edge off.  THIS HELPS TO KEEP ME SANE!!

 

***My biggest and scariest issue as of now as I can NOT stop eating and I am gaining weight.  Since stopping the two mentioned I have gained 10 lbs to an already fat body and I am depressed and worried.  What can I expect?  Does this need and desire to eat all day stop?  Thanks for reading Prayers for all of us.
