The foods/nutraceuticals which produced profound effect on my serotonergic system are given below.
Food/Nutraceutical | Positive Effects | Negative Effects |
---|---|---|
Instant Oats - Morning breakfast | Less anxious but not much when I started stutter | Tiredness, stomach bloating, increased stuttering |
Supradyn recharge multivitamin capsules - 1 capsules per day | Less anxious, Alertness while driving | Tiredness |
GTF (Glucose tolerance factor) chromium 200 - 400 micrograms per day | Great reduction of anxiety, music is enjoyable, can do tasks if already programmed like a robot | Tiredness, unable to focus or concentrate on a particular task (concentration dependent jobs required more time to finish), less clarity in thinking, mental cloudiness, unable to pursue reward oriented tasks even though the reward is known already, confusion in decision making |
I feel that the enhanced serotonergic system suppresses the dopamine and noradrenaline systems thereby affecting my focus, concentration and reward circuitary. But I feel that the combination of Supradyn recharge and GTF chromium is very much suitable for reduction of stuttering and reducing anxiety. However, to increase the focus, attention and reward seeking behaviour, either vitamin C (500mg-1g/day) or DL-phenylalanine can be added.
