When you said amino acid therapy I thought you meant they inject an IV in your veins as listed on some sites for drug abusers..for some reason i was thinking of this site http://www.noraa.org/amino_acid_therapy.html for some reason...I wasn't thinking about the more conventional way...my bad...
Yeah in a sense I am doing a slower amino acid therapy but at much slower paces...Sorry about the confusion again....Amino acids are the building blocks of nuerotransmitters as we all know...There is a reason why I am not fully recovered just by taking all amino acids and that would probably be b/c my receptors have been destroyed and desensitized due to oversensitization to begin with...I have talked to a guy with the same problem as me and he is probably still studying risperdal if I had to guess...He said these injuries don't heal on their own...Meaning time alone will not fix the problem... but another guy I talked directly with as well I managed to help him heal almost back to normal through recommendations...I don't know if hes 100% yet but I think he is getting pretty closer and closer each day..ultimately he healed himself though b/c he saw what was working and what wasn't...and this was all within a few months.....The reason it is taking me longer to heal is b/c my liver imo...I continued taking ssris after risperdal so my body has to fix more damage...This guy also took risperdal for slightly less time than me too...He takes whey protein and now piracetam like me and I still believe it is still probably important to take aminos for the rebuilding of cells that will utilize them again although it is possible but unlikely it is doing more harm than good but when I take them I get some establishment of libido so I am guessing it is good...Another problem that I didn't mention that I should have is Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Testes Axis disruption...When your friend took the drugs he didn't have a sex drive on it for 8 months...This could severely alter the axis and hormone glands are no longer in sync with one another creating disturbances to the adrenals/thyroid and who knows what else...This can be also seen in steroid users sometimes who don't cycle properly...This is mentioned on the forum mentioned too...There are so many variables to consider...He definitely needs to get some extensive blood work done to start figuring out what is mainly wrong and work from there...I just had 12 viles of blood taken the other day to test virtually everything there is...I will post some of my results when I get them..including vitamin levels/thyroid etc...so I can try to further pinpoint what is going on rather than just rely solely on trial and error with supplements...Also he could try neurotransmitter testing like you mentioned earlier through saliva or urine samples which i plan to do in the near future...I don't think there are any holistic specialists out there right now that would truly know how to treat someone like your friend or myself not to say that there isn't...It would be very difficult to find one i'm guessing and even if they were good at what they did they can only attempt to fix the problem with maybe special adaptogens/herbs or a recommended diet... it is ultimately up to the individual imo or if your lucky drugs by themselves...One book I get my information from is pretty popular on the recover forum...Is called the The Edge Effect...It pretty much discusses what aminos you could be lacking and how to fix those problems with supplements and in severe deficiencies drugs...Another place where I get my information on what are truly the best supplements to buy as well as other health information is http://www.imminst.org/forum/....I also have read several nutrition books...Healing With Whole Foods by paul pitchford and create your own supplement plan by another person I don't have in front of me...I have about $3,000 in supplements in my room but take each one sparingly to see which one is the best for me...Diet plays a major role believe it or not although it may not be evident for sometimes up to two years...It take a long time to regenerate cells in the body and light exercise is also imperitive for neurogenesis as well as lots of rest...Liver toxification is another issue i am currently working on...with a stagnant liver toxins remain in the body forever until it is cleansed and then healing occurs at much faster rates...I sometimes think I know how to heal then fall back but I am coming closer to an understanding of the foundation by reading all aspects into everything...I am a walking encyclopedia by now b/c I became so obsessed with getting my sex drive back I even dropped out of school....here is another post i did a while back explaining what happened to me and some things not mentioned http://www.drugs-forum.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=30921
There is so much you can learn just by other people and that is why recovery forums or PSSD forum are great places to start...although PSSD forum can make you pretty upset so I don't go there as much as i did but it has also some of the best and most recent information from other people there with the same problems....The moderator there is a real scientist who got affected just from one SSRI celexa and he can give you excellent advice based on what he has read from others and answers your questions rather speedily...
In answer to your question about blueshark he says he take armour b/c he has a thyroid problem...That i am guessing is one of his major issues...He may have to be on that the rest of his life as it is taken for people with hypothyroidism which he didn't have until i guess he claimed to have over-masturbated...which I guess is possible...
His sources are the same as everyone elses im sure trial and error and independent research and he found his cure...I don't think he took drugs however so it would be harder for our case to be solved...
