Morgan,
Thanks for your most recent response. I hear you on the brain damage thing. I sort of feel the same way about my condition, even though I can't really prove it. I suspect that my psychosis and cognitive impairment was brought on by the use of an anti-aging medication called aminoguanidine, which I took when I was on a combo of Parnate and SAMe. Basically, my cognitive impairment began shortly after I took the aminoguanidine, and the psychosis began a few days later. I don't think that I'd have the problems with cognition and psychosis that I have today had I not taken aminoguanidine, but my previous doctor disagreed with me. I've yet to mention anything about aminoguanidine to my current psychiatrist.
Thanks for the suggestion regarding cordyceps. I did recently try a free sample of a product called CocoCeps, which contains cordyceps. I didn't feel anything, but maybe the product that I consumed didn't have enough cordyceps in it to make any kind of impact. It also might be the case that I wouldn't be able to feel the effects of cordyceps unless I've taken it for a few days or longer. I don't know for sure, just guessing. I will definitely keep cordyceps in mind as something to try in the future.
Yeah, I've read through a lot of the old threads here on the alternative board, and I agree that Lao Tzu suggests some good natural treatments. I've been following both the medication board and the alternative board on and off for several years now, and a lot of the members here have provided me with a lot of good ideas.
Finally, thank you for wishing me luck in getting better. I wish you the same.
