Good morning everyone. I'm looking for some suggestions on something to try from ND to help decrease anxiety and irritability issues. I plan on doing some lab testing (for at least hormone levels) once I get things approved through insurance. In the meantime, I'm looking for something to help with those issues (baby arriving soon and something to keep anxiety/irritability down while I'm sleep deprived would be very beneficial). Below is a list of things I've tried from ND already:
Bacopa (synapsa and bacognize) - brain fog and anxiety
Ashwagandha (ksm-66 and sensoril) - anxiety with ksm-66; slight calming with sensoril at doses of 125-250 mg (not sure if going higher with dosing would be an issue as I have a low TSH of 0.5 and worry a out hyperthyroid issues)
Curcumin (longvida) - anxiety
Aniracetam - brain fog and anxiety
Phenylpiracetam - slight brain fog and really sleepy at doses between 50 mg and 200 mg (lethargy increases with dose)
Lemon Balm (ND extract and Cyracos) - anxiety with Cyracos; brain fog and lethargy with ND extract...doesn't seem to help anxiety either
Agmatine - severe anxiety/anger at doses between 250 mg and 2 g
Choline - all forms help anxiety…

That sucks. Berberine tablets set back as well?

Well, we are considering not coating them. If that works, then they will not be held up. If I decide we do need to coat them, then we will be held up a bit till we get a replacement coating company. We found an alternative, but they are booked out till mid October. So we are hoping to find an alternative with some availability sooner than that. It was totally unexpected that they went out of business! We got our 10% tongkat ali tablets back from them, and it was only a few days later we got the news. Thank god the tongkat didn't get caught up because of it, because that absolutely needs the coating. I am going to test some of the berberine to decide if we can get on without it for now.
