Also the orthomolecular doc I am seeing had a device that measured the flexibility of my blood vessels. It said they're not as flexible as they should be, which would tie in neatly with my lower than 80 diastolic pressure and high systolic pressure. Also fits the fact that I have issues with calcification I guess.

yeah, you need to calcium to get ionized. so blood vessels became flexible again

--Does suck man. Sorry. I can empathize not feeling guilt, sadness, depression in the normal sense - knowing you should be sad. -- This was me, when a close relative had a near fatal incident and major emergency surgery (i was 19 they were 22).
- Numb on effexor and also PSSD later. Later cried my eyes out for various things -- also pretty bad. --BUt yeah... stay on your path. -its horrible losing a close friend, and pets are up there for sure.
--Or I mean not feeling "normal sadness" -- Grieving. Rest In Peace.

Long time since I posted here so I thought I would update. I'm not doing very good mentally at the moment so apologies if I seem dramatic. Things have been at a standstill for a while now for me. EQ and libido are completely zero. Since my experiment with niacin it has become harder to ejaculate, it is like I have to manually clench the muscles to force it out and there is almost no feeling (sorry for tmi). I do feel a little less emotionally numb some days. I'm getting this weird feeling sometimes where it feels like my body wants to cry but I don't feel any sadness or anything so I don't know wtf is going on there. It's also really hard to motivate myself to do anything, not a good start to the new semester.

I'm still taking b complex, magnesium and iodine. My doc told me to add l-tryptophan and a mineral complex to my regimen which I have done, although I'm not sure if that's a good idea. The mineral complex has pretty much everything well under the RDA, so not sure if that's gonna influence anything much, and I think I recall helen saying taking serotonin precursors is bad. So maybe I should drop the tryptophan.

Anyways I just ordered some vit k2 since I definitely have issues with calcification. Hopefully it helps.

Watch out with k2, is your calcium high on hair test and or blood? We just spoke about k2 in another thread. It lowered my calcium a lot and caused some bone shrinkage I believe.

Shouldn't k2 do the opposite? I was under the impression it would put calcium into your bones instead of tissues where it does not belong. Calcium was sky high on my first hair test, although it came down a little on my second one.

Id be careful with l-tryptophan, it works on serotonin synthesis and made pssd worse in some people.

Yeah I will drop it for now and discuss it with my doc. I don't think it is having any negative effects on me (this "downswing" if I can call it that started before I started taking it) and it is pretty low dose, comparable to what you'd get from a big serving of chicken/turkey. She wanted to put me on 5-htp first because my neurotransmitter test indicated low serotonin, but I told her that was not a good idea.
