With the supplements, I have 0 EPS, 0 TD, and even the subjective, inner-experience of taking the tranquilizer is better. I don't get the dysphoria, cognitive impairment, dullness, apathy, etc., not nearly as much as before the Orthomolecular.
Are you doing orthomolecular with someone or did you figure it out yourself?

I want to try non-prescription meds, as well, but no one I've asked knows an alternative medicine practitioner. My therapist and pdoc have been unsupportive of the idea, saying I need to settle prescription meds first before trying an adjunct. But I really do want to try! Any info/advice of yours would be great!
