Flax seed and green tea question
Hello ,
Just wanted to know I've been taking flax seed caps twice a day for 3-4 months now , but I seen on the package that it says to not take the caps for no more than 3 months at a time 4 times a day, why is that? Anyone? Also is green tea same to take with clononazepam? Thks

Well, i think the flax thing is wrong, cause its just healthy fat, there is no reason not to keep it a constant in ones diet. Thats just my opinion, its like protein or multivitamins, theres never a time u dont need it.

Green tea is fine with clononazepam - I was on clononazepam for over 2 years and drank green tea about 5 times a day - no problems. Clonazepam - not good!! but I told you that already!!! Try to stay away from spicy foods & caffeine (green tea has traces but not enough to worry about). These can trigger undesired adrenaline spikes if you're on any type of benzo. Take a calcium & magnesium supp with your Clonazepam - It'll balance the pH levels in your system as the stuff you're on is really acidic. See if your Dr will swap your Clonazepam for Diazepam - it's easier to withdraw from when you finally decide to come off it (sooner rather than later would be better). I may be repeating stuff that I posted in another thread but it's all worth considering - be kind to your body when on Clonazepam and won't suffer as much as the next guy on it. Your body will start going through withdrawal even if you keep your dose the same (your body gets accustomed to the dose & needs more for the same effect). Get a good multi-vit, strong in the B's.

they say that limit to protect themselves from any liability rather than any research as to the limit a body can take. Seriously a tablespoon of flax oil which I take has about 15 grams i.e. 15 caps at 1gram each. It's a natural product, no different from taking caps of olive oil in terms of side effects. IMO I think 4 caps a day is underdosing. Of course taking many caps is rather inconvenient which i suggest getting the bottle of liquid or grinding it (which also has the benefits of including fiber). I have both liquid and seeds.
Wish I could say something about the green tea but I don't know that drug you are mentioning. Though I would definitely mention to a doctor any and all supplements you are taking if you are taking any medication to be on the safe side

Ok thks guys and I thought the labelling was a bit off so I'll kep taking it, as for thje green tea thks Cammo I'll consider that , it is all good to know.
I don't drink coffee and I take a multi vitamin everyday almost. I'll be cutting down on the benzo's soon but thks for reminding me I'll keep asking my doctor. I'll stick to the green tea , theflax caps and the multi's and cut down on the benzs. Thks again

PM me when you start coming off the benzo's - I'm over half way through the taper and am having a hell of a time even tho the taper is very gradual, it's affecting my workouts & mood in general.
I might be able to help if you start running into trouble (I've researched pretty extensively into it).
