PotSdealer, are you especially sensitive to hypersensitive to medications, herbs, and supplements? If so, to what degree? Also, on a side note, when you say 500-1,000mg caffeine, that sounds high? Is this from multiple cups of coffee, and from what?

@Hippopotsamus I purchased the DVD's but have not had time to watch all of them. Isn't there a simplified version of what to do to heal that you or somebody could share? I'm sure primitive humans didn't have access to a complicated set of DVD's in order to calm/rebalance their nervous system and heal... ?

angelloz, My doctor(s) can't figure it out. Any idea what you took or what caused your sensitivities? What may have triggered your autonomic issues?

I was diagnosed with a nervous system imbalance called Dysautonomia in 2005. At the time my main problem (and the only symptom I really noticed) was a SEVERE sensitivity to the effects of ALL drugs and herbs. I do NOT mean an allergic reaction. Instead, it was that I experienced the ENORMOUSLY exaggerated effects of whatever herb or medicine it was, even by consuming the smallest amount!!!! And it was not in my head. It was never a sensitivity to foods or anything else. Only medicinal things. Move forward a couple years: I noticed that the sensitivity to drugs and herbs was temporarily gone whenever I would take Ashwagandha extract daily (which has SOME effect on acetylcholine receptor activity) and as long as I took it daily, it made my sensitivity go away completely. Move forward another couple years: At some point, something I took CDP Choline (also known as Citicoline) or Choline Bitartrate and they left me PERMANENTLY UNAFFECTED by herbs/drugs and permanently disabled me with the worst chronic fatigue of my life. As a matter of fact, some drugs and herbs even have the opposite effects than intended now, and I can barely move I'm so fatigued. No supplements, herbs, or drugs seem to have the intended effects, and I cannot reverse the effect back to how things were. Has anyone experienced anything like this? The only thing I could have possibly combined with the CDP-Choline or Choline Bitartrate is Kava and/or Ashwagandha. Does anyone have any experience with how you restore sensitivities once cholinergics took them away? Please help.

For those that are really sensitive to meds, drugs, herbs, medications, etc.... What do you think could have caused this? Were you taking anything at the time? Any supplement or drug? etc.

Is there any supplement that has made you seem/feel MORE sensitive to things, such as more sensitive to the effects of drugs/herbs/etc? Or perhaps anything that calms or numbs your nervous system, almost tranquilizes you? Makes your pupils dilate, the whites of your eyes whiter? Removes strain? Makes you sleepy? Anything like that? Any/all help is appreciated.

Endure, what did you find out? Did it work?

For those of you who are sensitive to the effects of drugs, herbs, and medications, can you think of anything in your past that made you that way? Was there anything that triggered your sensitivity or made your nervous system get "out of wack" to the current sensitivity? Did you take a supplement, drug, herb, vitamin, etc that may have made your body become so sensitive way back when?

Endure, as I was reading your original post, I was wondering if it was a post I had written myself, because I used to be so sensitive to the effects of herbs and drugs, that at one point, even by having a sip or the smallest possible dose would have massive consequences. The effects of every herb or drug that I took were 100 times exaggerated. 1mg of something was equivalent to me having 100mg's (or maybe 1000mg's). After many years of dealing with this, I discovered that I had Dysautonomia. I was diagnosed at the Autonomic Disorders and Mitral Valve Prolapse Center of Alabama, located in Birmingham. Although they were not able to solve my problem with being so sensitive to medications, they believed me and said they had seen the same type of thing with hundreds of other people. Here's the point: I have a solution for you. Go out and buy some Choline (as Choline Bitartrate) or Phosphatidyl Choline at a local Vitamin Shoppe or supplement store, and take a little bit. Slowly this somehow desensitizes your nervous system receptors and tricks them into not being so sensitive anymore. It worked for me. It will leave you permanently much less sensitive to the effects of drugs, however do not take too much. Somehow, taking too much will take your body too far, leaving you with fatigue and will cause drugs to start having the REVERSE effects on you, kinda weird huh? Anyway, let me know if you got this message. And what I need to try to find out from you is --What caused you to be so sensitive in the first place?-- What did you take, eat, use, etc that made you so sensitive to drugs? I'm trying to figure this out for me.
