There is no question that men and women across the US suffer from mood problems, often characterized as depression. One day you may feel great, the next your in a depressed funk. Lumiday promises to change all that with their natural mood enhancement formula. We came across this top rated mood support formula on the market, and wanted to learn as much as we could for our visitors.

I originally took Lumiday way back in 2015, and was reminded about it when I came across an ad on yahoo.
Since I had a few old bottles laying around, I figured I would run another short 1 week test to see if it still worked as well as they say it does.
Through this review, you will learn about the ingredients, potential side effects, cost, free trial, and other pertinent information about this product.

1. What is Lumiday?
Acting as a stress reliever, Lumiday is an all natural remedy for anxiety designed to ease the effects of stress, give you complete emotional support, and improve your overall mood. It is made by a company called Adaptive Health Brands, the same company that makes Instaflex, Peptiva, and Nugenix.
More on them below.
2. What Are The Ingredients in Lumiday?
Lumiday is made up of a number of all natural herbs and extracts designed to help improve your mood dramatically. The full ingredient list includes a wide array of Vitamin B derivatives including, B1, B3, B6, B9, and B12. These vitamins are used to help increase your energy levels, as well as metabolism.
Lumiday also contains several other major ingredients, including St. Johns Wort, Theanine, Rhodiola Rosea, ashwagandha root, and 5-htp. It is interesting to note that 5 HTP mood enhancer is used in several dietary supplements, as well as treatment for depression.
3. Are There Any Side Effects From Lumiday?
While we cannot determine whether Lumiday itself has any potential side effects, some of the ingredients contained in the product do cause mild side effects. Vitamin B1, for instance, can cause mild symptoms, such as a feeling of warmth, itching or hives, weakness, sweating, nausea, and restlessness. This is not to say that there is sufficient quantities of B1 in Lumiday to cause these effects, but the potential is there.

4. My Personal Results With Lumiday
Although I’m generally a “happy-go-lucky” type of guy, like most people I can get into a down mood every once in awhile. While Lumiday seems to be geared towards people suffering from chronic depression issues, I decided to try out lumiday on the days that I did not feel so great, and help to deal with some minor anxiety I was having from my upcoming wedding.
The directions state to take 2 capsules daily with water, and allow the ingredients to build up in your system. I started taking them on a monday, and I don’t know if it was a placebo or what, but about an hour later I started to feel as if I was in a better overall mood. Not like a “high” feeling, but just overall more content.
After a few weeks I started to notice I was feeling generally calmer, with alot less anxiety. It wasn’t like a “I don’t give a s$#t” attitude that you get with prescription medications like Xanax, but I was not worrying about the small things in life anymore. As far as side effects, the only one I noticed was that I got a bit of dry mouth, but nothing substantial.

5. Pro’s
- Increased overall mood
- Lowered Anxiety
- I slept better while on it
- Felt more relaxed
- Available at GNC
- Wide praise on a number of third party sites
6. Con’s
- A bit overpriced in my opinion
- Some users say it didn’t work for them
- Only available in select stores
7. What About The Lumiday Free Trial?
There has been several complaints on numerous third party sites about the free trial practices of Lumiday.
When you order the free trial on their website, www.Lumiday.com, you have 14 days to try it out “risk free”. At the end of your 14 day trial, you are automatically enrolled in their Monthly Auto shipment, where they will charge you $69.99 + $4.99 every month to receive their product.
//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
This business model is somewhat controversial, with manufacturers arguing that if the customer likes the product, it will make it easier for them to simply receive the product automatically. The gray area lies in the fact that many customers don’t realize they will be charged at the end of their trial, they think they are just receiving a sample of Lumiday. While the billing procedure may seem like a scam, it does not indicate whether or not the supplement works.
Alternatively, you can purchase Lumiday on Amazon for a one time price of $43.
8. My Recommendation
In general, the Lumiday reviews that we found were very positive. Most of the testimonials reported enhanced mood, and a decrease in depression and anxiety. Some users reported that the product worked great, but the price was too high. Based on my own personal test results, I think it is worth giving it a shot.The formula alone is quite good and it does promote a better mood and energy overall in my own experience.
That being said, I would recommend you steer clear of their free trial.
While technically not a scam, they will end up charging your card continually until you call to cancel, which could leave you with a significant dent in your wallet.
This is a common practice, especially with supplements or health products bought over the internet, but it is easy to fall for.

Have you used this supplement?
Ive been struggling with depression for almost 10 years now, and have taken all kinds of prescription meds that always made me tired and sick. I have been taking Lumiday for only a couple of days and so far I love it! I can actually get out of bed and I can focus at work and on school now! The only thing I notice about it is that I'm having trouble falling asleep at night even though I take them very early in the morning, but I don't really mind because I still feel rested when I wake up. I seriously feel that everyone should be required to take it, The world would be a much nicer place! Good luck to everyone and I hope Lumiday works for you the way it works for me! Stay positive! Oh please, they need to lower the price a lot.

I'm not a doctor. I don't know what to label Lumiday as. I have dealt with the side effects of MS treatments for years. My side effects include severe body aches, lack of motivation, fatigue, and anxiety. I live with chronic pain, nerve and muscle spasms due to the MS. My neurologist prescribed Cymbalta to counteract the side effects of the treatments and help with chronic pain.
Taking NSAIDs for Headaches, backache, and other pain is something you just cannot do with Cymbalta and other antidepressants. If I had to take Aspirin, Ibuprofen or Tylenol, I would bleed a lot if cut or scraped. Bruising was common! Last November, the lining of my stomach tore in two places and I ended up in the emergency department at the hospital to have repairs done to stop the bleeding.
My doctor explained that I had no ulcer. My stomach lining had become less pliable and tore, probably from a hard cough or sneeze. Possible cause? A bit mysterious. Possibly from a fairly common virus. I cannot remember the name of it.
However, I became suspicious of all my treatments and medications. The Interferons I had to take for treatment of the MS causes severe aches, anxiety, lack of energy, and an induced depression. I was never a typically depressed person. My career was one of much stress and responsibility. I handled it very well. Taking antidepressants was not my idea of fun! I always felt the chemical side effects of such meds.
I tapered off the Cymbalta around Christmas and New Years. Seeing an ad for Lumiday, I thought I would try it. After the initial free supply, I felt it just may be helping, so I accepted the first 30-day order. It didn't take much longer to realize that Lumiday was much more effective than the Cymbalta, and I didn't feel the chemical side effects or the horrible dry mouth anymore.
My symptoms of anxiety and "depression" are mostly induced by the MS and a consequence of the needed treatments. I am back to my old self. I am active, sleeping better, calm, joyful, and enjoy being around people again. I still live with the difficulties of MS. I will say, the quality of my life is much improved over the commercial pharmaceuticals I was having to take!
Oh, yes, one last note: I am disabled and live on a fixed income. My budget doesn't allow for too many extra expenses. I called the Lumiday customer service personnel. They are so very courteous and willing to help. I did get a small, but helpful adjustment which enables me to afford the Lumiday much easier than the co-pay that the prescription of Cymbalta was costing me.
I also live alone and cannot afford to be "lethargic" or stressed with anxiety by any sense of the word! The commercial pharmaceuticals were not as efficient against those symptoms and the co-pay was ridiculous and the cost to my insurance was a serious crime in itself! Is it an antidepressant? I cannot answer that. Does it Ease Stress, Promote Positive Mood, Encourage Relaxation, and Support Emotional Well-Being? The answer is, absolutely yes on all counts.
NOTE: Be patient! Like the Commercial Pharmaceuticals, they take time for your body's natural brain and other systems to react and adjust, enabling the Lumiday to do what you would expect it to.
Thank You To The Makers of Lumiday!
Thank You to Their Customer Service Staff!
Sincere Gratitude,
Ron...AKA: "Buddash"

After 4 days of taking Lumiday, I felt what it can do. I wanted to quit my job before I started because it was so stressful. On the fourth day, I began to get stressed and it was as if a war started in my head, blocking the stress, I went on to have a worry free productive day. Every day since then has been the same. I just feel better in general about everything, and more relaxed.

My biggest concern regarding Lumiday is the sun sensitivity issue. I work outside all day. I wish where I ordered it would have mentioned that before I purchased it. I haven't tried it yet because of that warning on the bottle. -Toni

We don’t sell Lumiday, we just reviewed it. Here’s their contact phone number: 877-556-5864
Thanks!
That’s a good question, which unfortunately I don’t have an answer for. You’re best bet would be to check with your doctor directly.
Just show him the ingredients label and he / she will be able to tell you if there are any interactions.
Is Lumiday safe for me?
When you’re taking prescription medications, you’ll need to check in with your doctor about what supplements are and are not safe.
I would like to wing myself off and take lumiday.
Any suggestions.
I don’t really have any experience with Lexapro, so it would be hard for me to give you advice on that. As for the Lumiday, just take it as described on the label.
I find I’ve have been taking klonopin and would like to stop this.
Hoping someone knows… Thank you
Unless the manufacturers put that information out there, we don’t know. And unless they’re saying “organic” or “naturally sourced” in their marketing, then I’m betting they aren’t.
I’d call the manufacturer if you really need to know for sure.

It starts working right away, but the effects of cumulative. The company says you’ll feel the full effects after using Lumiday for about 3 months.
On the flip side, if you stop taking it, once the active ingredients are out of your system, you’ll stop feeling the effects.

I would like to check if Lumiday is for children 11 and 14 years old?
My son has ADHD and he takes Stratera, I was wondering if Lumiday can be used instead of Stratera or if it done not interfere with it.
I am not big on taking any sort of medications to fix my mood however given the fact its been over a year and havent made progress with my grief I decided to try this natural way to help kick me back into the mormal land of the living. It has helped.
If this will help me mend myself I will try it and am thankful that I have. Not everything works for everyone.
The doctor once tried Lexapro with me and my body rejected it and I was sick for a week. So every person has to find whats right for them.
I am thankful I have. Just my thought.
I know BPI has caffeine and Lumiday doesn’t, but other than that Im not sure if there is much of a difference I was thinking of buying both and trying them out since I cant find any reviews put against each other, But they are both really expensive.
Actually I have not yet tried that product, I will try to get around to it though.

I have liver fibrois and have been told that I will probably need a liver transplant at in the future. I drank when I was younger but was never a heavy drinker.
My doctor explained a term to me that describes my condition. NASH-It is basically cirrohis of the liver by non alcoholic causes.
I had a doctor years ago that had me taking several pills-samples he had in his office for a few years.
I was 20 yrs old at the time and didnt know to even question him until I found out he was giving the pills to a friend of mine for something not even close to my allergy and sinus problems. I quit taking them when he started my brother on them for something entirely different.
So anyway I have always wondered if taking all these pills and many pain relievers and other pills could be a cause for my present liver problems.
NO ONE should blindly trust doctors or anyone before putting anything in their mouth. Do research yourself, there are many resources out there at your disposal.
After my husband passed away, I went to a doctor that put me on Cymbalta and Abilify and they made me feel better but after a year I was afraid of addicting effects so I tempered off and gradually quit taking them. I still suffered terrible reactions.
Besides having tremors and jerks throughout my body, I suffered insomnia, body aches and a very bad detachment thinking process in my head.
I thought I was losing my mind and could no longer work at my job because I couldnt communicate properly with other people. I went to my doctor with this and other physical problems I was having.
He treated the physical and left the mental ones for me to handle myself. Besides prescribing xanax that is.
So please dont blindly trust a doctor when it comes to medication and always do the research. Second opinions should be a must.
So does anyone know if the ingredients in Lumiday are ok on the liver. I would love to get your informed answers to back my research so far.
I also have NASH and was wondering if you have received any feedback on your concern about liver damage. So far my profiles are ok but I don’t want to take anything that will make my condition worse.
Thanks,
Dave Morrison
Is it possible for me to sell it on E-Bay? I would love to be involved with spreading the word about this wonderful product.
Please do not change the formula.
Even at the highest price its cheaper than energy drinks and better for you too. I’m hoping there will be a cumulative effect, as well.
It will only mask them and supress them. after any medicine wears off, your still right where you began. it was only until i changed what i was doing in life, did i then realize that all these medicines where just holding me back, and numbing me. The PTSD went away, and depression.
All because i changed what i was doing in life,which inturn changed my thinking.
But felt no difference in my anxiety or stress levels. After about a hour hives were gone so a few hours later I decided to take the a second lumiday no hives and felt much better in my anxiety and stress.
This morning took lumiday and hives were back with but this time were on my leg neck and face. I am wondering if it is okay to continue with lumiday since the hives dont seem to last but an hour or so, and I do tell a difference in my mood i.e, anxiety or stress.
Also wondering I have taken B12 before with no hives so wondering what it is causing the hives?

I can relate with the frustration some of you may be experiencing.Its terrible that in this day in age,proper nutrition is so expensive ,and companies would much rather,exploit our symptoms ,and profit instead of help cure people.I have read all your posts,and i feel for all of you! I had a chance to read some of the supplements that are in this product. i take a similar product that has a lot of the same supplements.
Please feel free to email me if you would like to learn more about a wonderful product that has been working with my moods swings ,and my youngest daughters moods who is 2 .
No doctor or pill will make you feel better, it will work only temporary. Stick to what makes you happy and adjust a bit every day, eat healthy and exercise!
Thanks in advance.

I admit, that I feel like crap not that I am off, but I am so hopeful that this product will help. Will post back.
I have changed everything I was doing, I’m working, I exercise regularly and lost all my Paxil weight and then some, my family is healthy, but this panic is nagging and constant, I have also been looking for something natural but effective. I am hoping I can try this and it works without side effects or withdrawal!
If you really had a genuine product you wouldn’t need to throw porn into advertising.
Johns Wort is controversial and should be taken with caution. I tried it some time ago with little or no effect.
Then, a few years ago I tried SAMe which, from my layman’s understanding, is based on a substance your body naturally produces. I heard it was well received in Europe, so I tried it.
It did not help me. I also tried 5-HTP alone and with some other supplements that I was told would enhance the affect of the 5-HTP.
These actually made me more anxious. Since I do suffer “negative moods” (i.e., irritable, negative mood swing, testy, defensive, frustrated, etc.) more than I want to admit, I keep looking for something to help.
Since I am not on anti-depressants or other drugs, I will give Lumiday a try. The 5-HTP may have the same affect, but I am hoping that I react better to this combination.
I also appreciate knowing about their shipping policy.
This was a great boost to my mood, right away. I would have been very upset had I received the second bottle with charges.
I read the Terms and Conditions and they will start “auto-shipping” after 18 days of the order unless you call and cancel the order. But I also read that they have a 30-day money back guarantee on their “auto-shipping” policy.
So if you get the auto-shipped bottle and use it up, you can still send the empty bottle back and get a full refund. I would not suggest that, but you certainly can send back the unopened bottle and get your refund.
But method is to call within 18 days, but do not despair if you forget. Just read the Terms and Conditions to verify this.
Lastly, since I plan to start with one pill for a couple of days then go to two, I will cancel may order.
If I like the product, I will consider picking it up from GNC when I want the product(at $69.99).
Thank you “admin” for your review and for everyone who has posted. It helps significantly when people share their knowledge, experience, and comments.
I really related to what you said on this thread, esp about 5-HTP making you more anxious. How long did you try LUMIDAY, and how did it work for you?
I have a valve in my heart that lets a little blood come backwards with each heartbeat, and HTP-5 and St.
John’s Wort may not be a good thing for that condition, so that is the reason for my limiting this to one a day.

I note that the price structure received little favorable scoring; most reviewers felt that Lumiday’s ‘business model’ is, at best, “somewhat controversial”, if not admitted to be simply…’deceptive’. After all, we do live in a ‘Capitalist Economy’ model of politics — It’s YOUR Money — ‘Invest’ in what you believe in (I chose to invest in W.W.&S. — Wine/Women/& Song), and ‘wasted’ the rest… (It is a Short Life, derelict on Replays.)
The one bit of advice already mentioned that I will re-emphasize, having taken a number of anti-anxiety/anti-depressant RX’s for 15 yrs or so, is our brains tend to not handle abrupt chemical changes very well. So, consider easing into new drugs with caution and low doses to get a better sense of how it feels before moving to higher ones; when weaning off of them, the same applies, but in reverse.
Otherwise, the on & off, up & down effects can result in being much worse than starting symptoms. Thanks for your comments.
Including over the counter medications like cough syrup and cold medication.
Johns Wort. Just because it’s natural doesn’t meen it’s completly safe.
I’m frusterated the makers of this product didn’t do any homework. Judging from some of the comments half of you should not be taking this with the medications you are on.
Plus Lumiday already has a high risk interaction with in it’s ingredience. I figured that out just by typing in ‘St.Johns Wort drug interactions’.
I agree this company is in it for the money.
They are all the same and that is why all anti-depresants are called SSRI’s. They make you feel listless, like just sitting around all the time and basically doing NOTHING.
There are 3 ways to NATURALLY increase the Serotin level in your brain which will lead to calmness, low depression, and happiness.
1. Exposures to Sun Light or Bright Light. 2. L-Tryptophan (Amino Acid) or the natural ingrediant found in Turkey Breast increases Serotonin. 3. EXERCISE, daily areobics, swimming, running & getting yourself into a SWEAT. It’s either that or take all those ANTI-DEPRESSANTS which will harm your health, body and your brain in the long run.
Natural vs. Un-natural. Spending less money vs. the GREED of the DRUG COMPANIES.
I would NOT take LUMIDAY while taking an Anti-Depressant. What’s the use?
I got off of Celexa 2 1/2 weeks ago. Oh, it was tough.
I felt depression setting in and I did cry, but I was not SUICIDAL and I stuck to my EXERCISE PROGRAM. Now, I am getting better one day at a time.
The Lord willing, I will lick this depression situation by His Grace and a little bit of my own hard work. That’s all I have to say on the matter.
Too many side effects with Abilify.

Everyone knows that, even my 4 year old nephew. Secondly to everyone, you need to ask youre doctor about this, not a complete stranger on the web.
For all you know (not stepping on toes) this site could be paid for by all the medications companies. they have been known to promote themselves. So trust no one but your doctor about your health.
For example im on my final year of medical school. I learned about these kind of conspiracies actually at my university.
Its all about money in todays world. Thirdly, to the lady with the daughter on all those medications- your disgusting.
Be a parent. Step in and quit relying on doctors to make your life easier.
You should be putting her in therapy, getting a weekly chiropractor appointment, visiting an herbologist. all three will be all natural therapies to what she has. My brother was diagnosed the same way four years ago and he is very normal to this point with those three therapies.

You’re condradicting yourself.
I don’t think you should be too harsh on folks, even though if you are in your 3d year of Med School, and you may be shocked and perturbed at what you read. I was taking half of these ” Herbs and vitamins ” already, but shame on Lumiday for saying samples are free and then charging for S & H.
If Lumiday is so wonderful, the mfr should LIST ALL INGREDIENTS do that adverse reactions can be minimised, but obviously they are strictly in it for the money. I’m glad you spoke up, being almost an MD.
But less heat and more light could have been helpful. Peace, may we all have happiness, that doesn’t come from a pill.
And may we not be told something is free when it is not, its a false and deceptive advertisement.
Which prescription would you write for a patient if a certain drug by a certain company, had one of these “trips” attached?
My opinon “”””MY OPINION IS.." Seek things that will make you happy first. Get rid of clutter, clean your house, go for a long walk, talk to an uplifting friend, pray and eat healthy.
Only take supplements to enhance your daily life and moods, not to cure them.
The one thing I do agree with Noah about and he is the reason I decided to write “MY OPINION” is do things naturally. Other than that, Noah and I’m sorry to say this… You message was not very postive and down right hurtful and rude.
I personally and again “my opinion” think a doctor is only a preventative measure. They are not God and they are only there to assist you when your body fails you.
Do thank God for the doctors. But also be thankful for things we can accomplish ourselves without the use of harsh medicines/synthetic drugs. “in my opinion, again” looking for positive happy things around us, is the best” and the most rewarding way. (exercise, eat, pray/meditate, play, laugh and love) the rest of it we will not take with us and it.
The happy memories we will.
Happiness does cure. Look it up and please do not take my word for it.
Grab a hand today or simply give a smile you might be saving a life with just a caring thought.
You be the light, don’t seek the light.
It is in everyone of us to be happy. We only think we are weak.
Stop looking to man to fulfill your every need. Stand up tall and make a difference for you and others today.
Many Blessings!!!
Give Hope, not drugs, not negative. HOPE
My opinion as well.
Believe me, I know what It is like to feel depressed and not feel like doing anything. And yes, I agree that taking a natural supplement is beneficial, if it helps you.
I meant my comment more on the lines of taking synthetic drugs that the doctors write so easily. Sometimes though, we do have to grab deep within ourselves and draw out what little motivation or positive feelings we can.
Talk to someone who cares, meditate, pray. I know for a fact that does help.
I do realize in life we are around circumstances that bring us down and let us down and it is hard to avoid all of it at times. I know this very well also.
For me when I get down or depressed , I talk to God and seek things that will give me a little form of happiness. Happy positive energy does cure.
I read an article recently about a lady that took up meditating and said it turned her life around.
Again Lillian, I do apologize for my insensitivity.
I hope and pray you have a blessed day and your depression goes away, so you can enjoy your life to the fullest. Know that I am not perfect and I do have my down moments as well.
Hence the reason I found this site.
God Bless, Hope
I had no idea he was using it. His depressed affect has lifted in the past two months and he attributes it to Lumiday.
Oh, he did mention he got flushes initially, which were a reaction to the B vitamins.
Another reason I have very little interest in these blogs or the internet in general, expect to search for certain tax free bargains, or to do research by using several sites and comparing using some common sense. Let me guess you are some sort of self certified Bible thumper?
You tell the lady to trust her Doctors and then turn around and tell her she is an idiot and not to follow her Doctors directions.
Well one thing is for sure, she is no where near the idiot you are. You got a license to be spewing this garbage?
You have medical training? Doctors sometimes over prescribe many things, but you have no idea what here daughter is going through or acting like, or what her blood tests are, or anything else.
I am not a believer in mind altering drugs, but I have no need for them like you do. The lady felt bad enough, no she should not trust people on the web, but she put it out there, and maybe her Doctor is wrong, but the one thing I know for sure, I would trust her with my kid long before I would trust some goof like you, Trust your Doctor, but be a parent and don’t trust your Doctor, you are a freaking genius How do you know mixing one drink with anything is dangerous?
You ever tried it? You think you know but all you know is what someone else told you. This is why the internet is such a waste of time, it is full of people’s opinions, and like assholes everyone has one.
Super job helping the lady.
She hated everyone, especially her sister whom she blamed all of her problems on. She was planning a very horrible act and she was cutting herself.
If it hadn’t been for a wonderful child psychiatrist, Very understanding therapist and her meds, which I consider wonder drugs, she probably wouldn’t be here now.
She is on Geodon 60mg,Lamotrigine 25mg,Methylphenidate 36mg & 54mg, Trazodone 50mg. At one time she wasn’t on any of these things.
I would like her to be on a natural supplement instead of getting addicted to these medication’s. Can Lumiday be my answer to my prayer’s?
I agree with you, doctors are way to easily prescribing these medications, without any regard that they may become potentially addictive in the future. Lumiday may be the answer, but there is no way to be absolutely sure unless she tries the product out.
Sorry I could not be of more help.

Like that guy said half that shit is addictive, wing her off it immediately.
After reading your review I can see that most of these RXs were percribed to counter act side affects from the ADHD medican. I’m not sure what the side affects are for the mood stabilizer or the bipolar medication.
I can only say I was miss diagnosed with bipolar disorder because the symptoms of ADHD or inactive ADD matched for mood swings and anxiety because of beingg so frusterated from not being able to make my brain settle down. Also when the ADHD medication starts to ware off it is common to have withdrawls (anxiety, aggitation, mood swings, ect) My question is what medication was she on first?
If it was ADHD medication your Dr could be trying to treat the side affects of that medication. If she were to just take something like vyvanse for ADHD, and then the Trazone to help her sleep the.
The withdrawls from the Methylphenidate may be stronger because it leaves her system quicker leaving her with bipolar symptoms. I hope I’m making sence.
Anyway after i was taken off the other medication and was just treated for my ADHD my other symptoms disapeared. I was able to tolerate withdrawls better by using a B complex and I still take DHEA. Calcium and magnesium will help repair her nerves as well.
Best of luck, I know it’s been hard.
Johns Wart is an MAOI and 5-HTP is a SSRI even though they are both listed in Lumiday they have known high risk interactions to each other, and the medications your daughter is on.
But the worst is the geodon. A so-called atypical antipsychotic, it can cause extreme obesity, diabetes, heart disease and an incurable neuromuscular disorder called tardive dyskinesia that is characterized by grotesque, involuntary facial movements.
If it hasn’t already caused your daughter to pack on an enormous amount if weight, it’s only because of being counteracted by the Methylphenidate, which is a stimulant similar in efect to methamphetamine. Antipsychotic drugs CAUSE psychosis by permanently altering the brain, and the lifespans of people who take them are shortened by 15-20 years.
BUT the only thing more dangerous than taking them is to stop taking them abruptly. Please, please, please get yourself a copy of “Your Drug May Be Your Problem: How and Why to quit taking psychiatric medications,” by Peter R.
Breggin and David Cohen, and follow their recommendations. I’m sure your local library has a copy.
Meanwhile, I will pray for you and your 14 yr-old.
High anxiety can present as ADHD. Depression, anxiety and hyperactivity are symptoms of rapid cycling mood disorder.
All these diagnosis have symptoms that overlap. How do you know what is really being treated, or which meds are working on what?
But the most common error prescription-happy doctors make is…misdiagnosis. We have seen children as young as six arriving withmom, a bag full of prescription bottles, multiple diagnoses and in total despair.
In a very large percentage of these cases, the real diagnosis turned out to be PTSD, post traumatic stress disorder. In kids it presents with mood swings, anxiety, rage, hyperactivity and impulsive behaviors.
The correct course of therapy and anti anxiety meds. Think about the possibility of this, and go get another opinion.
I feel for you. Both you and your daughter are trusting the doctor to be able to fix behavior and moods, oftentimes without addressing the real cause.
Research a good brand of fish oil. Be sure you buy it at a health food store or on line.
Please Google the benefits of fish oil. Everyone should be taking Omaga 3 Fish Oil every day.
Fish oil is not a product you want to buy at WalMart, CVS, Costco, Sam’s, etc. I buy a lot of my supplements on iHerb.com. If you put in code DOS494, you’ll get $10.00 off your first order of $40 or more with free 2 to 3 day shipping.
I completely agree, your daughter should not be on those drugs. Shame on her Dr. Consider finding a good alternative health practitioner.
It’s important to read food labels. Try to avoid the following preservatives BHA, Parabens, Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein/MSG, Partially Hydrogenated Oil, Sodium Nitrites, Caramel Coloring, food dyes, and watch the sugar content.
What is her diet like? Try to cook as healthy for her as possible and cut way back on fast foods and fried foods.
Use coconut oil (I like Nature’s Way Organic) and Olive Oil. Also, food based multi would be good as well.
I like New Chapter and MegaFood. Have her vitamin D level checked please.
Meanwhile, she probably needs a 1000 iu a day. Maybe less, since the multi will probably have 200 iu or 400 iu.
Buy organic fruits and veggis as much as you can. If you buy fruits and veggi’s that are not organic, really wash very well to get the pesticides off.
Google a recipe for a natural wash or you can buy it bottled. God Bless you both.

I was prescribed that and Depakote for bipolar disorder (misdiagnosed) years ago and that stuff is all horrible. I was falling asleep all the time.
Was a zombie. I got off of everything and realized I just had some temporary anxiety in my life from work.
Took me 6 months after quitting all the meds to get back to normal. I’ve been fine for a decade now and would definitely never take any meds like that again.
Go natural for sure. Those other drugs are over-prescribed and very bad for your organs and your mental health.
She was on quite a lot of meds. Especially at first, it took a long time for her dr to find the right combinations.
Every once in a while her dr still does some tweaking. My daughter is now a Special Education Specialist and works with kids with many different psychological problems, which comes to the main reason I am writing.
At a private school for kids with psychological disabilities she worked at she had this one boy. One day she heard he had been Baker-Acted the night before.
A few weeks later he returned to school. What had happened, he had stopped cold turkey taking his meds without any ones knowledge.
The result was a rare type of schizophrenia that is the result of just stopping these meds. Most people have heard that you should always be weaned if going off certain drugs.
This poor kid hadn’t. He was around your daughter’s age maybe younger.
So please do not just take your daughter off these meds without consulting a dr first on how to do it slowly.
I only take zorcor 40 mg at night for high cholesterol. Has anyone ever fainted or had ill effects from this product really need to know wanted to take for my mood swings with manepose.
Please let me know asap thanks

This bottle clearly says don’t take with alcohol and most other
over the counter products say that too. Please get some help about
your need to have a drink before you go to bed.
That a is not
a healthy practice, alcoholism is nothing to mess with. Believe
me, I know, I have an alcoholic mom and have worked in a treatment
center for alcoholics.
My mom started out 30 yrs. ago with having a drink to help
her sleep at night. Now her drinking problem is an unpleasant problem for her entire extended family
Take care of yourself by avoid using alcohol like a medication or a solution to a problem.
Remember denial of having a drinking problem is
the first and most dangerous stage of alcoholism.
She didn’t say anything about more drinks or using alcohol to help her sleep. Plus she says it was 9:00pm when she passed out.
You read way too much into her post Julia.
Healthy as a horse. Dr. says to keep doing what she does.
So don’t assume that people can’t drink without becoming addicted. Sounds like maybe you or someone in your life has drinking issues
Not sure about that one, I would check with your doctor to be sure. Sorry we couldn’t help.

If it made you itch, I would definitely recommend against it. You clearly got some sort of reaction from it. Is it mood support you’re looking for? Check out a substance called Kratom.
It is absolutely AWESOME at improving mood, just don’t use it too often because it does have the potential for dependency. I have a big article on it, check it out here: https://www.supplementcritique.com/closest-thing-to-hydrocodone-oxycontin-oxycodone-and-more/
Don’t let the title scare you. It’s not an opoid medication or anything, but it can provide some pretty substantial pain relief. Hope this helps!
