Alright so I plan on taking several different supplements to try and keep sonic hallucinations and feeling of being watched under control, please tell me if there will be any negative interactions between the supplements I plan to take.
Niacin
NAC
vitamins A C and E
Sarcosine
epa fish oil
Followed by a low sugar diet that has slow insulin spikes, if need be I’ll go to a psychiatrist and get medicated I’d prefer not too. I literally just took 1000mg of Niacin and feels like I got sun burned on some parts of my body, I took it with NAC so I don’t know if that is something that is not supposed to happen either way i’d totally continue it if it’s harmless (skin looks burned though well see if clears up). I currently see a therapist for anxiety whom I have not said anything about my delusions and the voices I hear because I suspected that they where connected to anxiety and that seems to be true so far.
There’s a reason why I have not told him. He isn’t qualified to deal with someone who is psychotic at best. I’m going to find someone else to talk about the voices with and keep them separate because the anxiety I go to therapy for is deff connected to the voices. Your not supposed to have two therapists that’s why I don’t tell them.
I will for sure, but if I can get rid of my symptoms before I get prescribed medication why not? It takes a month to get a psychiatrist appointment by then I could have reduced my hallucinations to certain extent before I meet one. I asked for possible negative interactions with the supplements I took, not for your feelings.
Because the Nobel prize for medicine has just been given for this year. We’ve all tried supplements. We’ve all tried the supplements above. They don’t work on their own. You need proper meds.
Never said I wasn’t going to take proper meds. If having a proper diet and vitamins help and there are studies to prove it I have no problem with trying them out, if you want how ever you yourself can take prescription drugs alone. If that is what you feel needs to be done.
I have two therapists and neither of them mind. I go to one for PTSD and one for psychosis. Both of them know the full extent of my psychiatric problems, but they stay focused on their areas. If you are honest with your therapist, even if you don’t wish to discuss psychosis with her, she can still help you better. She might be able to refer you to a therapist who specializes in psychosis.
Also, all of our symptoms are connected to anxiety. That’s just how it works. Stress is a trigger for most of us, so the more anxious we feel, the worse our symptoms get. You are not somehow different from us. If you don’t want to try meds right now, that’s fine, but if that’s the case you need to have a full support system in place, which includes friends/family and therapists you are totally honest with. @darksith manages with no meds, but he has a very supportive wife and treatment team.
As for those specific supplements, I don’t know much about them because I don’t trust anything that isn’t quality checked by the FDA. Sunburned skin sounds like a dangerous reaction though.
