Great. My PS comes in 100mg capsules. So start with 100, or 200?

start with half of the 100mg cap, so 50mg. dont expect much from this dose though, just start slow incase u get a bad reaction. work your way up to 400mg or stop if u find a lower dose helps.Great. My PS comes in 100mg capsules. So start with 100, or 200?
You convinced me to resume taking PS 100 mg, which I had stopped on Christine's instruction. I had been taking it in the morning, but moved it to bedtime. That seemed to make my dreams worse, so I am now taking it in the evening about 3 hours before bed. I think it is OK. (There is too much going on in my life right now to know what is effecting what.)
Hey @heapsreal
What are you taking for sleep these days? I'll try to find the message you sent me with it in as well.
Wow that is a combo 😂
Thanks for replying. The valium really helps huh?
I've got valerian root 800mg extract (allows me to get back to sleep), melatonin 1mg but I've been reading about higher doses (gets me to sleep). Then diphenhydramine 25mg for sleep but that stuff builds tolerance very fast. I tried mirtazapine and even at lower doses I was a zombie for 48 hours. Cortisol and work stress aee my main issues rn.
If I wake up I normally find the only thing that gets me back to sleep is 4 reishi life extension capsules takes about 20mins to relax my entire body. Which makes me almost certain it's a cortisol issue.
Do you still believe your issues are all cortisol?
