ramakentesh Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 I went to a TCM specialist a few years back and he gave me a particular herbal prepartion that helped with the following:* over stimulation* dizzinessAnd it also increased the time it took for me to start feeling faint in the morning. It is an awesome mix.I know that Firewatcher has some firm views about TCM and I agree with her that you should definately consult a skilled TCM specialist about herbal interventions. Under TCM philosophies we may have very different diagnosis so my experience is just a guideline.I went to a second TCM specialist in early jan as i was struggling and they gave me an almost identical mix to last time which it thought was interesting.I only took it for a week and Im only supposed to take it three days out of a week anyway as a soup. Since them ive been trialling mestonin for 1 week and now Midodrine for 4 days.I can safely say that this mix is superior to both of these options. Far less side effects, doesnt just stop working abruptly and doesnt feel 'synthetic'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
firewatcher Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 I wholeheartedly agree. The problems are:1. Actually finding a good practitioner2. Being able to get the herbs...One of the herbs I am on, which has been the most helpful, is completely banned in Europe and Australia and there is no substitute!3. To get the full benefit, you have to cook them yourself...no pills or powders! The issue with this is that if you don't do it exactly like they say...you can end up really dead!Other than these, if you can find a good practitioner, I have found the Chinese Herbal remedies are much easier on the system and work much better.

issie Posted February 9, 2012 Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 So, are you thinking to just do the TCM stuff and not the other meds?Issie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramakentesh Posted February 9, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2012 Im giving both meds a week to do their thing. Then im going to sit back and consider which worked best for me and why and then probably pursue that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
