Amino Acids/ Half Life (Questions)
by rello, Jul 20, 2008 02:48AM
Hi Everone,
Ive been reading posts on here for a couple of days now and im finding them really helpfull.Especially ones related to anxiety (Which has been a big one for me!) I just want to ask you guys a few questions if i may?
Ive been tapering for about a week from Neurofen Plus and im down to 7.5 tabs a day. Ive decided to go down to 7 a day this week as i have two days off starting today.
Should i be taking Amino Acids while tapering? or should i leave it till i finally go cold turkey?
This Fourim has really help me understand why i started taking the damn things in the first place. Im in a job where im standing all day dealing with the public. Its also quite a competative atmosphere. theres a lot of back stabbing and bitchiness on almost a daily basis. Lunch breaks are irratic and often on existant. As im quite a sensative soft hearted person . Snide comments and Clicky behavior really cuts to the bone with me. I suffer with sinus pain . So taking the Neurofen Plus helped alot. to make me feel a little better.(With the sinus and then to numb my feelings a little )
There are at least Three other members of staff in the same boat as me. and the are constantly asking me for pain killers.The and about ten others are serious drinkers. Theres only Fifteen of us on staff. Must be the Hairdressing industry in general thats the problem. Over the counter Painkiller Addiction is Huge in this country But of course its been swept under the carpet and not talked about. Typically Irish!!
This is My second time fall into this trap . The last time i was still Drinking So most of the C/T was just a blur. I havent drank used illegal narcotics or prescription meds for over two years now. i kow i Just transferd my addiciion But now is the time to end this cycle once and for all.
Can anyone tell me the half life of Neurofen plus it seems to be about twelve hours but im not sure.
Thank You Guys For Your Time

hi there. I wish i knew what Neurofen plus is..but regardless..you are doing great. I think you should foolow the amino protocal now..Have you tried to cold turkey it? I always cold turkey everything.It seems to be the only way for me,but your doing an excellent job at tapering..I say try it and see how you feel (cold turkey). I am very glad you found this site. It has helped me and many others so much,. Take care ~Lisa

Amino Acids are what a protein molecule is made from.A complete protein is i believe 8 different aminos that the body doesant or cant make on its own,of the 32 overall.Aminos/Protein is more for athletics/bodybuilding than for detoxing.The liver doesant require more stress at this time,but once you are physically clean,then with an exercise program amino/protein may be of benefit. This amino protocol is only a theory and I dont believe it,or there is any scientific justification and or mesdical proof. thanks
