I just can't shake this horrific anxiety and worry.

This is really bad.

Have you ever tried sam-e?

I can tell a difference. I've been taking it for many years.

It's healthy in ways other than enhancing mood and with no side effects.

I do hope you find something that works for you.

Alot of supplements I tried never worked.

I'm currently weaning off Zoloft.

I have to be even more careful now with what I take/put into my body as I just got diagnosed with MCAS.

Therapy isn't even working. I'm an absolute mess.

It may take some time with your MCAS diet to see changes.

I think MAP1131 also suggested you get thyroid tests done. A messed up thyroid can also cause anxiety as can decreased adrenal function.

Be extra careful with your foods.

Anything high in histamine will make your anxiety worse.

Salicylates also affect me emotionally.

It doesn't matter what I eat or don't.

The anxiety is there.

While stabilizing mast cells and lowering histamine helped me a little bit with the anxiety and worry, i found that attacking it via another pathway was more effective. And that is the inflammatory pathway regulated by NMDA receptors in your brain.

Everyone is a bit different in this way, so this might not apply to you, but you never know. NMDA receptor antagonists are things like zinc, theanine and magnesium(only threonate worked for me). NADH is of great aid as well, but can be hit or miss.
And how is your vitamin D intake? Very important to quench active inflammation in the brain and to support your immune system!
Again, warning, if you do take supplements, get the most pure ones, and often times it helps to try a couple of different brands.
