Jeff,
Thanks so much for your response. Sorry to bombard you with so many questions, but it seems you and I have alot in common, especially our diets. I'm 5'2 and weight stays around 120-125 lbs.
Use to work out all the time. Miss it so much. I keep telling myself if I can just get down there and force myself, I could get motivated to start back. Don't understand why I get anxietal at the thought of it when I was so religious about it before.
I did try to start back running this week, But weening myself off of the lexapro and then having the awful side effects to the trazodone over the last couple of days have floored me. Was going through all of my books trying to find a good detox to see if I could get this out of my system quicker. I just ordered some more MAX GXL (off e-bay, alot cheaper)as it has alot of good healing nutrients and always made me feel better. Alot of body-builders use and it is a good detox for body, but I was trying to find a good quick cleanse also.
The last book on anxiety I read was "Coping with Anxiety" by Dr. Edmund Bourne, but it didn't really tell me anything I hadn't already researched before as far as how to cope with anxiety. I'll definately look up "The Anxiety Disease". Would love to figure how this started.
I've never drank any of those ephedrine drinks that were at the gym or in the stores. Scarey to me. Red Bulls and other energy drinks scare me also, plus I don't like anything carbonated (soft drinks)and I don't like anything that taste fruity. So basically the only thing I drink is decaffeinated green tea and maybe occasionally some decaf coffee in the morning, my whey shakes,(sometimes I'll switch up and throw some blueberries and strawberries into the mix instead of bananas and peanut butter.
Maybe I'm confused about something I thought I had read. I thought we had to watch out for tyrosine in products because taking maoi's screwed with the conversion of tyrosine to tyramine in our bodies. Do you take amino supplements that contain tyrosine? Because I was really upset that I would have to give up my aminos. I'M SO CONFUSED!!!
Like you, beer to me has always been disgusting. I like a glass of red wine every once in a while.(usually a sangria) One site said no liquers (so I was wondering if Kahlua was O.K., but since its a coffee based drink, then probably not a good idea. Will keep the Sambuca in mind. Never drank much anyway. Don't like feeling drunk ( I have enough issues)LOL!!!, but I like a couple of shots of a good tequila every now and then when I'm out with friends. It's quick, fast and effective and doesn't give me a headache. (Not that I go out now anyway, GOD I MISS MY BEFORE LIFE!!!!)
I know I asked you a bunch of questions before, but you didn't give me feedback regarding veggie burgers or vegetarian "chicken" patties. I am assuming since they are soy based, then they are probably a no-no. Maybe I could just try one and see what happens, ya think?
I see that we are very pro-active as far as health goes, but was wondering what you do when you do get a cold or flu. What can we take?
Thanks again for your time and info.
Hope will talk soon.
