How could I not try it?
For the last two days I have been experimenting with one called Relacore, chosen solely because my wife had a bottle.
There has undeniably been an effect as I seem to be overmedicated and am working on reducing my meds.
I began with a single capsule at dinner two nights ago and another at bedtime (label says six per day). Slept ten hours! Usually five.
Day one felt unusually peceful inside. So much so that I grew careless with my med schedule and ended up off in the afternoon. But still an improvement over the last few weeks.
Last night I skipped the bedtime dose and had a more usual sleep pattern. Thus far today (6:00 PM) have not had a "real" off but some dyskinesia from too much meds?
This brings up some interesting questions. Among them, does cortisol really play that big a role in our day-to-day symptoms?
