I would recommend GABA and lithium orotate, worked for me both can be found in health food stores.

Good Luck.

Also, Evening Primrose oil. I have found them to be invaluable in evening out my temperment.

Lithium orotate reduced my irritability by half. In fact that was one of the most striking features of it. Its very cheap. Take a look at my thread Lo again for order details etc.

Hi Cope. What your describing irritable is normal when we stop using any drug alcohol,smoking,caffeine etc, I don't have any experience with Lithium orotate i would google it. I try to alway's eat a well balence diet and i take b-100 and calcium, magnesium,zinc these are all good for improving the nervous system.Try to avoid soda with caffeine... That will make you more nervous/anxious and irritable. Try eating some chocolate and a hot bubble bath might help.It's a shame you can't get to a doctor to help you threw this process with some med's for a short period of time.I no for me when i get pissed off or frustrated a drink seem's to be the answer NOT all that does is leave me with depression and despair. Wishing you all the best! Trucker

I took GABA when I first quit and still do when I'm feeling "gritchy". It really helps me!

Ok since it's obvious money is critical at the moment and supplements are more expensive(I don't advise buying poor quality cuz it's cheaper)--you can buy a tea made by Celestial Seasonings called Tension Tamer("Extra" if you can find it)--double or triple the bag. Sleepytime(Extra)can be blended with it too. Start with 2 bags and feel your way. Also force yourself to do some exercise to increase the endorphins. Hope that helps.
ps if you have daisy allergies-this has chamomile
Try to find Valerian tea and choke it down--it does have a vile smell.

Thanks

Thanks for all the suggestions. I hope to scrape something together to but some vitamins but crap...I need gas to try and work. Maybe I can raid my dad's vitamin cabnet or something.

Thanks, now I know what I can keep my eye out for.

P.S. I do have B complex and B-1 (Thiamin) vitamins from the first time I went through this and I've been pretty good at taking it every day lately...hope it helps.

I guess I could be worse but my outlashings are unpredictable and yet....justified in my mind. It's odd though that I only (like many others) only lash out at the person I'm closest to. I have many reasons for that but I could write all day venting it so I'll bite my tounge. It's about 3:40 am here, I wish I had meds. I gotta try to sleep....eventually.
Thanks Trucker
