More Non-Prescription Remedies That Work for me!
(I have LOTS of problems - PTSD, Chronic Stress Burn-out, and Night Shift health problems)
L-Theanine:
Amino Acid supplement - promotes relaxation and corrects negative effects of coffee. (Articles I've read suggest taking it with your coffee - seems to really take that edge off!!!! I'm even a bit less shaky!)
5-HTP:
This is the precursor to serotonin. It is like "food" to produce more serotonin.
Serotonin is depleted by:
Stress, lack of sunlight, coffee & alcohol, poor diet, as well as life's shitty circumstances. If you get body chemistry stuff sorted out, life's shit becomes a little more manageable.
**DO NOT take if your are already taking anti-depressants - you risk producing too much serotonin, which can lead to serotonin toxicity.
Binaural Tones:
Frequencies specifically for mood elevation, healing, migraine relief, serotonin & dopamine production, lucid dreaming, and all sorts of things are out there on the internet. You need a good pair of headphones that can handle sounds BELOW 20 Hz - the lowest frequencies really feel the most effective (To me & a friend of mine)
