Anyone take any supplements. I’ve been taking Alive Women’s Energy and it’s been making me feel great. Either it’s that or St John’s Wart. Anyone else taking anything?

I assume it’s st johns wart that’s making you feel better. It can interact with meds so be careful.

Does St John’s Wart work straight away? I’ve only been taking it a few days.
You know about nutrition and stuff. Does St John’s Wort work straight away?

@Star84, maybe read your antipsychotic’s medication leaflet in the contraindication section…
(I only just passed that course on nutrition sorry idk much and my family threw away my education handouts without my permission because they thought they were influencing my psychosis
:(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( ) sad times
I don’t know if it works straight away. Click the link I gave above and see if you’re taking any meds that it might interact with. I’d be more concerned about that.

im thinking about taking zinc, for my immune system and also vitamin e to lower my prolactin. probably will just go with wheat germ for vitamin e.
i haven’t taken any supplements for a couple years, i think they are kind of a waste of money. but i used to take a teaspoon of liquid fish oil for a couple years. can’t even remember why i was taking it though. i remember it seemed to soothe my brain almost immediately when i took it. it was very therapeutic.

That’s tons of supplements! Just be careful about their interactions with meds. Lithium can damage the kidneys at therapeutical levels and doctors do regular blood tests for it. Lithium is for bipolar disorder.

Also ginseng in high doses can cause psychosis, I remember it made me psychotic but I think I took too much.

I am Asexual and hate masturbating… So I take Vitex (Chaste Tree). It took 3 months to start effecting me… But I have gone from once every 3 days to once every 4 months. It wonderfully gets rid of my sex drive. I take 3 pills of 410mg 2 times a day
LS! Hi Aziz! I take only 400 micrograms of Lithium. This sort of amount in the tap water extends your life. So long!
