> Looks like I will be bringing either DLPA or tyrosine back. I have fallen away from my low carb diet and I feel something like where I was back in July coming back on me. Time to go back to restricting that again.
Pardon me whilst I think and conjecture out loud.
What symptoms are remaining that TMG, Mg, multivitamins, phosphatidyls, grape seed extract, gingko, and omega-3 FAs have not covered?
Carbohydrate senstivity. Reduced ability to handle stress. Non-refreshing sleep. Depressed mood (thus increasing temptation of carbohydrates). The first three are somewhat charactersitic of impaired adrenal function. I think back to the improvement I saw while I was drinking lots of licorice root tea with regards to waking up, 4-6 AM, and feeling ready to rise and get busy. The picture is complicated by my use of pemoline during the beginning of this period. But it didn't START with pemoline, but only after I started on B-vitamins and DLPA. And that's when I "uncovered" sensitivity to carbohydrates! Curious. I think the carb senstivity went away to an extent with the licorice.
It's a bit shaky, but I think I have something of a "lead" here.
