My personal recovery

Posted on: 07/20/2009 12:24

 I was twenty when I first got to know that I had a paranoid psychoses. This was in 1987. For the next 12 years I got the usual treatment with antipsychotics such as clozapine and later on seroquel. During these twelve years, I felt more or less comfortable with my medication however being fairly unstable in terms of recovery.

 Are we in The Dark Ages? When it comes to mental health diagnoses in the 21st century, it often seems that way. Yes, drugs can help extreme symptoms, but with a 10% 'success' rate, modern drugs seldom help anyone truly recover. Parents and other family members of those with serious mental diseases are often at their wits' end.

prevention of artificial deficiency question

Posted on: 06/13/2009 15:00

Hi,I just read a book on orthomolcular health, and it's influenced me to try a Niacin regimen (1,000mg 3x/day, so total 3,000mg/day). I also have an old nutrition book, though, that says that if you take one of the B vitamins in large doses that you can create an artificial deficiency in the others, so you should also take a B complex to safeguard against this.I'm writing to ask if anyone has any good information (links, etc) on the specifics of this. At this dosage of Niacin, how much B complex daily would be a safe bet to avoid the imbalance?
