Need help again.....brother

I started JK 3/14 at 1 drop 3x daily and worked up to 3 drops 3x daily. I backed down on 3/24 to 1 drop 2x daily and finally stopped on 3/29 due to real difficulty breathing. I then started stephania at 1 drop daily and have worked up to 2 drops 3x daily. My anxiety is through the roof and vision is a lot worse amongst many other symptoms. I am also taking Hawthorne 6 drops 3x daily, ToxEase 8 drops 3x daily. Started taking motherwort again at 6 drops when needed. I am detoxing like a madwoman but not overdoing it with milk thistle extract, alka seltzger gold with L-glutathione, pinella, burbur, parsley, lemon water, dry skin brushing (not as often as I should), activated charcoal and intermittent chlorell/spirulina (very loose, frequent stools).

My question is do I continue to stay at the Stephania dose and really suffer or do I back down AGAIN? At this rate I will never get into remission! Would it be a good idea to take a much smaller dose and add in cat's claw or skullcap at a very small dose? Has this happened to anyone here and how long did it take to build up to at least a few drops daily?

I do want to mention that I am a very strong lady and forge on through thick or thin but this has me hanging by a thread.

What else can I add that will help me that is not an anti-something?

You may simply be trying to increase your doses too quickly. When I restarted treatment this time, I took a week for each dose increase to begin with - and kept my detoxing up too (as you have done). Now my dose increases are coming much more quickly, but those first few weeks drug on forever!! But, I did make it past that initial start up period.

Girlie, do you mean have I tried taking Stephania 1 drop only twice a day or have I tried only 2 drops once a day?

Yes, I take a calming formula and motherwort for anxiety. They don't help too much. The good thing is I am able to sleep 5-6 hours a night which is a big blessing.

Traveler, I think I will back down to 1 drop twice a day for a week.

Girls, do you think that is a good idea for now?

Any other herbs I can take that aren't anti-something?

Another anti-anxiety herb that I use is Avena sativa, it seems to help with nerve pain some too over time.

And agreeing with Girlie. Don't raise your doses too quickly - even if you do want to pull your hair out because "this is taking too long!!! and I'll never get anywhere like this!!!" I had to squash those feelings and just stick it out - but it did work for me! I was using only JK at the time. I had to get to 6 drops in each dose before the herxing back down again - which seemed a bit odd. LOL! At 5 drops twice a day, I was herxing on a fairly low level, but enough to make me feel sick, but at 6 drops, I turned a corner!

Yes, for anxiety. It's a calming tincture, that can help a bit with nerve pain if you take it for a while.

If you find that you are already entering an anxiety attack, take a dose in very warm water, it acts much more quickly that way. Otherwise, use cool water, to give it a more long lasting effect. It doesn't work for everyone (what does anyway??), but it does work well for many.
