JoJo, Maybe you should just start again by taking one a day or one twice a day, because sometimes with supplements these things happen. I am on some really great supplements and sometimes when people first take them they get headaches or whatever and many times it is just your body not being used to the antioxidants. If people drink plenty of water with them it helps and just starting on a low dose and adding a little each week or two. I mean when we start an exercise program we are in pain from just the body getting used to the new activity...it doesn't always mean it's a bad thing. So I hope they work out. Just try a bit of a different approach. I know these help me. Our bodies are very interesting and we all need to do things differently. I am glad to hear from you and want to know what happens, okay? Your buddy, CAS.
hi cas- thanks for that suggestion. i think i'll take one becalmed now and another later. i had called them and they said if one is prone to headaches (i am) then it is a common side effect. they also suggested to lessen the dosage but i wondered if it would work as well. but then again...... why not try and see?
it's so funny in a weird way, used to be i'd take anything.... not even knowing what it was. now i'm leary about natural supplements.... what is that about?
i will keep you posted (literally) and i thank you again.
so will my husband who misses the calm i had for those few weeks. the stuff is amazing.... just couldn't take the headaches. i'll try it a little at a time this time.....
i'll let you know!

Jo, We are extremists I suppose. I was drinking 2 liters of Diet Coke a day, coffee, and alcohol...no water at all...now I only drink one cup of decaf and I am leary of how safe the water is! I was a garbage can of any drug at all and now I am afraid mineral water isn't pure enough! I mean the dose for the becam'd is 6 a day, so if you take one twice a day, it should make a difference in your mood and hopefully not cause any headaches...do you drink enough water? A lot of times dehydration makes us prone to headaches. What is your blood pressure by the way? How much caffiene do you drink? Any diet sodas? CAS.
hi cas- i drink LOTS of water as a rule. had some bad bouts with kidney stones in the past so it's part of my lifestyle. i don't drink coffee or diet sodas but do indulge in a hit of cola in the morning to get me going. i have low blood pressure but i'm going to have it checked again, i'm wondering with all this going on what it's at these days. i'm a vegatarian and my cholesterol is really low.
i've always been stressed and always been prone to stress headaches since i was a kid. so it all makes sense now. today i took 2 becalmed and i feel fine, no headache. i will try it again tomorrow. i just wonder if such a low dose will make a difference. i am such a b****h these days and notice how nasty i get without it. i tapered off weed and i'm doing well but my mood and personal life has much angst. i miss the becalmed and hope the 2 per day will work at least take the edge off.
i too was a garbage can of barbituates and weed and other sorts of not so good things.
i laugh when i hesitate over natural supplements and the quality of my water. i will NOT drink tap water!
thanks for all your suggestions. again i wouldn't have been able to drop the weed if i hadn't lost the anxiety over letting it go after a few weeks with becalmed.
i'll let you know how it goes....
best to you and your bf!
