Combination Chromium and Prozac

Hello again, Dr. McLeod.

I wrote you about a year and a half ago when I started taking chromium. I'm still on it and doing very well. The difference still astonishes me in how much better I am on the combination of Prozac and chromium. The carb cravings are a lot less and my energy level stays stable through the day. I've been able to lose 25 pounds so far, hopefully with more to come. I still need to lose another 30-50 pounds, but the chromium has been a big help so far. My blood pressure has dropped significantly as the result of the weight loss, my blood pressure has dropped from 130/90 to 118/80. I will have to stay disciplined, as even with the carb cravings diminished, I do still love to eat. My GP is pleased that I'm on chromium with my family history of type 2 diabetes, even though I show no clinical symptoms yet. He also treats both of my parents' type 2 diabetes. We've talked about possibly starting me on a low dose of glucophage as a preventive, as since I'm already responding to the chromium, there's already insulin resistance present. One of my friends who has similar depression to mine has started taking it and has had good results and I finally got my dad to start taking it. We both come from a long line of people with depression. He is feeling better too, and our doctor was ecstatic at his last checkup for his type 2 diabetes at his blood sugar and A1C levels. They've dropped significantly since he's been on the chromium.Thanks again for all of your research and work to publicize this treatment. It has made such a big difference in my life.
