Hi Barb,
So, I'm not sure which board the following should be under! Substance abuse/alternatives/or medication!
I'm leaving it here.
so, I too have been abstaining since Sunday night and feel so much better for it. I'm also on this new diet for my metabolic type. The saddest part about it, is I'm following his instructions of one glass of wine ONLY per day and no more than five per week (I won't get to that). (I think I may just abstain altogether) And the big gun reason I'm following his instructions is not because of my health (not a strong enough factor), not b/c of Depakote (i.e. liver), but b/c I just spent $400 on testing and supplements that this better bloody work! And it's now or never. I can't keep doing this. I've just spent so much money and energy into a pdoc and a metabolic nutritionist to sort a life long mood problem out and I need to jump thru' the hole that has opened up for me. I can't miss this boat.
And the way I felt the past two times drinking on Depakote (after just two glasses of dopamine), I'm a bit scared to just have one at the moment. i enter into wacko land instantly.
And it just feels good now to be taking care of my body (in an educated way), for instance, I know that this is the right diet for my metabolic type and I'm not just stuffing a bunch of supplements down my throat b/c I "heard they're good for me". This feels right. I've even adapted to Xylitol in my coffee! (a healthy sub for sugar)(just one cup a day mind you - but that's the strongest cup!)
The fun part of this nutrition plan is for my type, I am suppose to eat more meat and less carbs and fruits and no soy! (And no wheat and less sugar.) So I threw my boca sausages away and subbed for chicken apple sausages! yum!
I asked my pdoc about the L-carnitine and he hadn't heard of it, and I told him what it was, he said it would be ok to take it, but start it now and then in a week start the Lamictal.
So you had an internal rash with the Lam? How long did that last? I keep having nightmares about the rash. Have you seen those pictures?
Glad to hear that you're doing better too.
Katia
