Should I lay off the cigarettes too? I don't think they are bothering me too much...

also, Do you think I could get Valium or something good from the doc tomorrow?

In my opinion. MaOI drugs in any form can fuck up a persons world. I would say that the combination of the various chemicals in your system are causing the lack of control over your thoughts. Prozac (or anything similar) acts like a "band-aid" instead of a cure, which is typical for most of Western medicine.

Here are a few things you might try to help yourself get off of that governmental control vitamin.

First, stop your intake of alcohol completely. Your GABA receptors work on overload when you drink, and that directly affects the process of your MaOI receptors as well as any drug you are taking to block them. Also, It would help your sleeping patterns if you stop drinking any caffine as well. It will suck the first 3-4 if you drink alot, but it will help your sleep patterns as well as your general well being.

Cut back on the cigs if you can, but if that effects you too much, smoke as little as possible. The nicotne wont help in getting your body back into balance, but you dont wont to got into a shock of withdrawl with it either.

Then you need to begin a slow detoxification process to help balance you body and then down the road, your mind.

Drink a pure Green or White tea 3 times a day, and make sure you get a decaffinated version to drink in the evenings. Green tea has the highest amount of antioxidants found in any easily obtainable herb. This will help you body flush out the toxins at a much faster rate. The amount (and type) of caffine found in green tea is minimal and comes on very gradually and lasts for a good while, when you drink 3 a day spaced evenly it will allow your body to stay regulated until is time for you to come down to get some good sleep at night.

Drink at least a gallon (yes, a gallon) of water a day. To spread it out throughout the day I carry a large bottle around everywhere I go, also so I remember to drink. You will piss ALOT, and it gets kind of annoying but it is just part of the purification process.

Eat as many raw fruits and veggies that you can, and completely stay away from simple sugars. Your body will be using alot of energy to balance itself out so you dont want any super insulin spikes during this time period. I also think it would help if you steer clear or greatly reduce your intake of red meat b/c it takes so much energy for our body to process as well.

GET SOME EXERCISE! I cannot stress this enough. When our bodies develop too much uneeded energy, that indirectly affects the mind and our thought processes. Hell, just a walk around the block is sometimes just enough to give us the relief we need. However, I would recommend some nice vigorus exercise of your choice (i.e. something that gets your heart pumping) About an hour a day or so would work nicely.

I know this is gonna suck but...stop smoking the herb. Just for a few weeks. You need you body free of any other substance in order for it to adjust to what you need to do to get off of the Prozac (or equivalent).

After you do all of this for 2-3 weeks, back off of your normal dosage by half on the 4th week. Keep up with the cleansing of your body as before and see how your body responds. Obiously if you have any episodes during this week continue back with your dosage and come off a bit slower. If you find that you can do half of the dosage for a week, then drop the dosage slowly as needed.

Once you get off that stupid shit, then you can go back to the bud. Start back slowly, and start enjoying you new outlook free from that government crack. Good luck and feel free to ask any questions of me that may come to mind. You can Yahoo IM me as well if you have it.

Keep in mind that this is a guideline. It is not written in stone. Our bodys are all unique. The most important thing is to listen to your body, and keep the focus on purifying it as well as the mind and all will be well.

Anyway, good luck to you and take care of yourself.
