SAMe, S-adenosyl methionine, 400 mg per day, enteric coated is a specific treatment for the "impending doom" syndrome.
Have been taking this supplement for about 25 years and have relieved the terrors of some of my dear friends who have begun taking it.
SAMe is present in every cell in the body but as we age we produce less and less of it naturally. It is essential and too little SAMe leads to this feeling that everything is wrong and threatening.
Available OTC in every health food store and from Amazon. Pretty cheap too.
Does this pass the blood brain barrier? Also, do you know if it has an affect on either the gaba a or gaba b receptor?
SAMe is a cosubstrate involved in several anabolic reactions and synthesis throughout the body. Because of this, it can be used for a variety of conditions. But, it should be used with caution because there are unintended consequences with its use - an overload of serotonin is serious. There are also contraindications with certain medications. I think it works best for conditions such as arthritis and depression - but only in the short term. The gaba pathway is a different animal altogether. The main activation for the inhibitory receptor is the neurotransmitter GABA - but drugs like benzodiazepines are designed to activate these receptors these receptors as well.
You seem very educated. This isn’t something I’d like to share but it’s got to the point of no return. I was prescribed kpins for 2 years when I worked in Boston. (I know liberal city) I moved back to my home state and only had what I left the state of Mass. with. Thinking I could always call or video call and get a new prescription. Problem is, she said she needs to have me in her office to prescribe me more. This terrifies me. I know benzo wd can kill people. I been prolonging what I had for the longest time. I’m tired of being scared. It’s so hard because I work so much but I been trying to find a doctor who will hopefully understand my situation. A lot of people think, work out or run or, think of the ocean and you’ll feel better. I believe it works but not for people who have been prescribed it for years. Im afraid of death. This is the first post I’m ever actually talking about it. I don’t have new insurance in this state yet, but I do plan on getting it soon. I was hoping to find something otc that could replicate kpins and enter my gaba receptors because I always had anxiety even growing up as a kid. People mistook me for being nervous when in reality, it was more of a panic, super anxiety. Which only progressed with the help of GNC… I’m just trying to look for answers. Anything helps.
