Doctors don't have test capabilities to know for sure but depending on one's symptoms they often prescribe serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

Side effects can include lowered libido, slower metabolism, quality of sleep circadian rhythms and gastrointestinal upsets.

Brands include Lexapro, Zoloft, Prozac, Luvox, Lovan, Aropax, Cipramil and the cheaper Alphapharm equivalents.

To get off them requires a bit of supplement > neurotransmitter juggling/testing.

Juxtaposed assistance can include a pet dog/parakeet, consistent exercise, omega 3 fish oil, Inositol, quitting sweets/alcohol/recreational drugs and inhaling (in confined spaces) paints, thinners and varnishes.

The other prescription drug you're on Genelle is a tricyclic type. They've been around since the early 70s when I was first registered. If required the doctors opt for a quadcyclic like Avanza (taken at night) due to its soporific effects. They're used to diminish depressive symptoms.

STOP TRYING TO GET MY FRIENDS ON DRUGS!!!! :P He isn't the only one you reccomended them to either lol

I've been on anti-depressants benzo and alprozam for the past 13 years now for Panic Attacks, Agoraphobia and OCD, to be honest I wish I never started them, I think that they have made me better in one way but worse in many others, I'm struggling to get off them they are so dependent, I never have energy and the have actually made me depressed and emotional, nothing could upset me before I started them but now I'm like a chick with pms, all in all try everything else first before you turn to them, St Johns Wort work awesome but I cant take them due to the presciption drugs, I'm trying to wean off the prescriptions and get back on the St Johns Wort.

It was a hard trot but I managed to wean off after about 10 years on assorted meds, had some really fecking bad times in there but been off them (none in the house completely off them) for about 6 months now and only the minor hiccup when I am in a position where I feel like there is a lot of pressure on me and my stress levels go through the roof... Some days are harder than others but when I find myself in a position where I am not feeling 100% I talk to someone, even if it's to distract me until I calm down or ask their opinion on whatever my current trigger is.

It came down to trying a range of supplements and 'natural' rememedies however all in all the best solution seemed to be having a string network of good friends, keeping myself busy and just trying to maintain a level of positivity. It was tough hut it also snowballed. There are dark patches and I just force myself through it.

^This... I cannot agree more with this... Seriously some of the people I met after a massive down of mine have helped me no end without even knowing it, most of them still don't know what they have done for me!

I can't recommend Terry enough had my first consultation with him today and I found it great and really helpful, the detail he goes into is wonderful and doesn't leave you there wondering what the hell he meant as the majority of people I have seen for help from doctors to counselors you name it, just had my first dose of treatment and can't wait to see the results, I will keep you guys posted, thank you very much Terry.

You're very brave Dan to have spoken up like this on an open forum. I'm very proud of you (since it's unsolicited).

A bit of waiting time is required now.

Less of a dietary change than I thought is in order - although one item might need to be monitored.

This thread might end up like an RPAH show eh? But definitely not a circus.

Thanks for starting off with strong motivation - and from your school history let's hope you've got a bright future ahead!

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
