Sorry you are going through such problems.

The psychiatrist is probably referring to lack of carbs and your seratonin level.......There is a lot of reading that you can do on this, I wish I can point you in the right direction but I am not sure. I cannot answer your questions completly. But have you thought about a different low carb plan instead. Maybe the Carbohydrate Addict's diet. That way you are still somewhat following low carb and for the time being listening to the doctor and upping your carbs for one meal....

Another thing is that some people have all the side effects to SSRI's that you have shown, it is a small percentage but nonetheless they have them. I think the problems you are facing are more to blame on the SSRI's not the low carbing you are doing.

But, as I said if you maybe get the book for the CAD plan, you may find that a better alternative for you.

Good luck
Cindy
