if you have more questions about my personal experience with the stuff, email me at [email protected] i'd be pleased to help somebody out of that mess, i would rather have cancer than go through that again!

Hey Gary Wary, if ones been using ativan to bridge the crossover to another antianxiety med they'd taken for 25 years, could inostitol help withe the weaning of the benzos?

Short answer: I don't know!

I also was not told anything about this OTC product some on this board have recommended called inositol. I know inositol is a 2nd messenger important for cascade of events that occur within the cell, but I have no clue how it may help relieve anxiety.. All I do know is that I've been tought most of what I have told you from a research oriented school, and I am sure that if there were good/hard/proven evidence for it's use, then it would have been brought up in class.

Ahhh bless. You've done the schooling... now it is time to learn what happens in the real world i.e. you will not learn about inositol because it offers no profit potential for the pharmaceutical INDUSTRY.

I went to an engineering university. Never once did I use a spanner or screwdriver. Does that mean either doesn't exist?

There have been to many studies to qoute. So I cannot be arsed to qoute them again.

Inositol works in me.. and has worked in many others.

anyway, I took 5g yesterday, didn't get 'freaked' out last night, but I am not sold on it yet, I could have just got lucky last night.

garywary, I saw some of your other inositol posts, very good stuff, thanks. was wondering if powder, like from beyondacentury is probably the way to go on this stuff? also, I know you commented on caffeine canceling the effect; this may sound crazy but I have devised a plan to take both. I only get stressed later in the day regularly, like after 12 or so (the mornings I'm usually fine),,
I read your posts about the caff/eph connection, and it makes total sense to me as when I take caff/eph it usually multiplies my anxiety... so I am planning on taking my caff/eph at around 8AM then start taking 1g inositol every 2-3 hours starting at 12. do you think that gives sufficient time for the caff/eph to get out of my system,, maybe thats too broad of a question, I don't know. just thought you may have some idea on the time EC is in the body,,, wouldn't want to be taking this stuff when I'm just canceling the effects. I guess I can live without my EC, but I just got a bottle of Xena in yesterday so it's hard to put it down.
thanks for the replies guys,
I bet if I tell the shrink about this stuff this week he will freak out,, he was going crazy when I told him I had trouble sleeping so I took melatonin, he said "you should see a doctor and see if thats safe", if he only knew some of the other stuff I have taken!

Caffeine destroys inositol.. i.e. it depletes the body of it. I believe ephedrine may do the same (but I don't know for sure). Either way, both cause/contribute towards anxiety. Leave it alone. Otherwise, keep it to a minimum.

On the other hand it might help...

Fuck, is that you in your avitar?

 

[GaryWary]

i cant take anything. ssris fuck me up bad and belive it or not xanax makes me have one (go figure) ive had to give up gear after 8 years. I take buspar for my anxiety. I have severe anxiety and it just aint worth the fucked up head to do the juice anymore. buspar helps but the shit wont go away.

You ever try meditation (beathing exercises)?

Sounds like you're a textbook case of generalized anxiety.

Have your doc put you on paxil.

whats the best time and dosage to take of inosotil? I know to take 5 g a day, but should i take that all at once, or throughout the day, and should i take it with or without food?
