So I believe that I have been suffering from leaky BBB. I saw some of the suggested solutions being chronic high caffeine level in the body. I have previously had serotonin toxicity issues and have had heart issues due to other chemicals (tretinoin) etc. I am sensitive to caffeine pill, ex. I noticed an increase in heart rate when I take a tiny dosage (same with aspirin). I am worried about increasing the amount as it is linked to heart conditions. My BBB issues persists to this day where I experience some severe brain issues (including schizophrenic symptoms like hearing "whispers" and other ways brain acting weird). It started when I was prescribed some anti-depressant/anxiety drugs by psychiatrists when I was 19. I believe taking those has damaged something in my brain that persist to this day.
As you know I have previously had serotonin toxicity and have to avoid many brain supplements that raise serotonin like ginseng, turmeric, fish oil, etc. So my options are very limited.
I would love to know if someone has suggestions on how to go about treating leaky BBB that doesn't involve increased serotonin or affect heart issues (I am generally sensitive to chemicals so would need a 'natural' alternative)..
thanks
