    Supplement Junky!

    Hi Again:

    I haven't "tuned in" for a while. Since last posting I received the book, tapes and LOTS of supplements. I read the book and decided to do what the book suggests i.e. take supplements - in my case, kudzu, Vit-Min, Amino Complete, Milk Thistle, Super Evening Primrose and Calms Forte (I think this was referred to as the starter pack). Ends up being 19 pills a day! I also saw my doctor and asked if she would consider prescribing Topomax. After reading the book and possible side-effects, I told her I would prefer to be under a doctor's care rather than order via the internet. She refused to prescribe Topomax and said no doctor in her practice would do so. She referred me to a program for alcolholics ... just what I didn't want! Anyway, I am taking the supplements, listening to the tapes and it seems to be helping. Anyone else out there on all these supplements?
    Any advice? I am not really comfortable taking so many pills - but I really really want to rid myself of the cravings and don't know where else to turn.

    Hi Dandy,
    In my case, I find the lglutamine and kudzu help with the cravings. But in my early days, I took GABA and True Calm as well...
    I think we need to throw everything we can at this to start, and if its helping, then maybe go with it for a while longer?
    Good luck

      Thanks, Startingover! Yes, the supplements ARE helping .. so I'll stay with them for a while (my props).
      Guess I just needed affirmation.

        Hi Dandy,

        It is a bit daunting to take so many tablets every day, but truly I think it is worthwile.... you will reap the benefits.

          I love my L-Glut.I also take many other suppliments that are healthful. A B-Complex, Milk Thistle, an Omega 3-6-9, Calcium, a Multi-Vit, and Melatonin for sleep.

            Yep I agree take everything to start with. You will figure out what suits you best after a while and then you can pick and chose. I swear by the l-glut and the true calm and the vit b's but I dont bother with the rest now. But hit it with everything first to give you the best shot at sucess.

              I agree with everything in the thread. I too am working the program with just supplements - no topa. As long as I'm faithful to the supplements, they work. As soon as I miss a day or two I'm quite vulnerable.
              As you may have heard, removing products from the mix is trial and error (unfortunately). However, everything worthwhile takes time. Hang in there!
