In reply to Vitamins...anybody swear by any in particular?, posted by jrbecker on July 5, 2002, at 2:39:46
Niacin really does provide some relief from anxiety, but not the the degree that some assert. What I have found is that vitamins alone are a pretty lame treatment for many diseases but, in conjunction with drugs they can be pretty powerful. For instance, there was one study that showed dramatic improvement of their heart medication by adding co q10. By itself q10 can offer some protection but the combo seemed impressive enough for some drug companies to consider making a combo drug.
I think that Niacin is good to take with a
benzo, and might even warrant a decrease in
dosage. Many of the electrolites can offer
a certain degree of relief from the symptoms
of anxiety.The problem is that there is usually a devide in opinion. The ones who think that herbs
and vitamins are the only cures in the forms
that God intented them. Then there are the ones
who think that drugs are the only effective cure.I urge people to reasses the use of proper nutrition after they have responded to a med.
Cause believe me, there are many people that
grind their Lipitor and sprinkle it on their Quarter Pounder with cheese.Generally mental health patients are more
cautious about their diet.
