Hi,
I read your post and you seem to be very knowledgeable about supplements. I was recently diagnosed with adrenal fatigue/exhaustion and have been prescribed travacor and calm-prt. I'm very weary of taking any pills because I believe in the body's ability to heal itself with a little help from nature. I am concerned though. I took the Calm-Prt and I noticed my anxiety flared up to the same point it began when I first noticed my body was going into exhaustion.
The Travacor makes me very sleepy and it is hard to stay awake at work. Which makes me a bit confused because the prescription was to take it in the morning. I stopped taking the calm-prt altogether
I'm a young gal and I have never been this sick in my life! This experience has been scary because I have been on a roller coaster ride of symptoms ranging from panic attacks, constant anxiety, insomnia, depression, GI disturbances, menstral irregularities, it's been horrible and it's already been almost 2 months since I've had symptoms. I've been doing everything from acupuncture, massage, herbs; I was even prescribed anti-anxiety and anti-depressants which I've never needed in my life!
I never took the anti-depressant because I knew that pills were not the solution. So I was wondering if you had any suggestions that may help calm these flair-ups and allow my body to heal

So you do NOT know what you are getting. How much of EACH.
I never recommend that people consider products with this way of detailing the ingredients.
The taurine and theanine are not likely to cause headache or side effects. The 5-HTP is likely to be difficult to tolerate for some people. But we don't know how much of this is in this product!
I don't care WHO makes things like this....if this type of listing occurs on a label... proprietary mixture, then AVOID it.
Adrecor is similar, only it has FIVE ingredients listed in this combined way, so you still don't know what your are getting!
