I think the prudent thing for me to do is to go the conventional route atleast from the outset. I am suffering immensely right now. More that I ever thought possible and I need some instant relief to get back to a functional baseline. I am going to try Remeron and work with a therapist to see if that can bring me out of the depths of hell. I guess its possible that it will address some of the symptoms and allow me to distinguish if some side effects are strictly mental. I am very interested in the protocol. I have already implemented a few things, those being, cold showers, breathing exercises, meditation and paleo diet. Is there anything that you would add right now as well to augment my conventional healing attempt with remeron and CBT therapy? I also cant lift heavy. I tend to get injured pretty easily from what I think is years of stress and tight muscles. Could the exercise part of the program be cardio, yoga and light lifting high reps. Which of the supplements or herbs do you think would be most beneficial to start out with. I can't have anything that interacts with Remeron.
