I found out you're not supposed to take L-tryptophan or 5-HTP while taking an SSRI. I took 5htp for a couple takes before i learned this and had body tremors kinda like i had while adjusting to the lexapro. I stopped the 5hpt and tremors stopped. I attribute it to too much seratonin or just my body trying to get used to more seratonin

April 11, 2014 Flipped in class 2 white water while kayaking, hit my forehead (was wearing a helmet). Lots of symptoms to begin with. Those remaining are fatigue, brain freezes/overstimulation, headaches, sensitivity to light and sound. Insomnia is getting better but still an issue, and appetite is ba-ack! Depression and anxiety are largely under control thanks to Lexapro, exercise, and a very distant light at the end of the tunnel.

Drugs: Lexapro, occasional 2-5mgs ambien. Off amatryptaline. Taking about 453 supplements.

Just started vision therapy, waiting on some blue-tinted prism glasses.
