@Hip , thanks. Those are "atypical" antidepressants, and I thought they just lowered dopamine.

I've tried several, though. Most of them put me on the floor a couple of days and the ones that worked only lasted a couple or three days.

Supplements such as ornithine, arginine or citrulline, in doses of around 5 grams, detoxify ammonia, and thus if your find such supplements reduce your anxiety levels,

But why do all this messing around with supplements, isn't there an easy way to get some lactulose? My ex wife works in a hospital maybe I can get her to steal some lol

Can lactulose be bought in some form over the counter?

The other thing to look at is yucca root, which absorbs ammonia in the intestines. I also have diarrhea predominant IBS, so I kept clear of lactulose.
