I just got lab results based on urine and spit testing from a couple weeks ago.
Cortisol
TIME - LEVEL (NORMAL RANGE)
6:30AM - 6.1 (7.0-10.0) LOW
10:30AM - 2.9 (3.0-6.0) LOW
4:35PM - 2.9 (2.0-4.0)
9:00PM - 1.9 (0-1.5) HIGH
SUBSTANCE - LEVEL (NORMAL RANGE)
DHEA - 324.0 (33.0-496.1)
Epinephrine - 7.7 (7-12)
Norpepinephrine - 29.5 (30-45) LOW
Dopamine - 171.5 (115-175)
Serotonin - 133.1 (120-185)
Glycine - 1,570.0 (455-980) HIGH
GABA - 6.8 (4.7-7.0)
Glutamate - 43.3 (15-32) HIGH
PEA - 35.3 (30-70)
Histamine - 18.6 (14-24)
Creatinine - 125.2 (28.0-259.0)
The doc said it looks like my inhibitory stuff isn't working properly, so he wants to bring those up to get into balance with the excitory stuff, then look at whether they both need to be brought down together. He's got me taking Taurine, 5-hydroxtryptophan, L-theanine, N-acetylcysteine, Alpha-Lipoic acid, and some co-factors for a week, then seeing what else is necessary.
