> Holy Basil(New Chapter's)-pretty powerful herb that calms/eases the mind-also may lower blood glucose and increase insulin secretion
> Glycine-3 to 4 grams at night for sleep Low dose lithium-yes I consider this a natural option-you can get a good orotate form of lithium from Vitamin Research Products-if you try this, maybe 10 mg in the morning and 10 mg in the evening
> Magnesium Taurinate-400 mg in the morning and 400 at night
> Cordyceps-3 to 4 grams in the morning. Opens up lungs making it easier to breath. I find it to have an energizing and anxiety relieving effect

Am currently stable on 0.6mg down from 5.0mg.
If I go below this level then it feels like CT.Did you get bad withdrawals from Zyprexa? How long did the process take?
