In reply to BTW: Larry, Ron - how are you doing on NADH? (n/m), posted by btnd on August 24, 2003, at 2:30:31
btnd,
I am currently taking 2.5 mg once or twice a week. However, I have decided to take an extended (permanent?) break from this supplement. In the beginning it was profound for the treatment of my atypical depression (low motivation, anhedonia, low energy, and hypersomnia) and it still is effective (although not profound) for this purpose. But now, seven months later, the irritability associated with my taking a dose has escalated to the point of being unacceptable.
I’m in a catch 22 because, on the one hand, I need the ENADA NADH to treat my atypical depression but, on the other hand, I can’t stand the irritability it causes for a day or two after taking each dose.
I’m glad to see that ENADA NADH is working well for some. I am a med-sensitive patient which may explain my reaction to some of these supplements. I had a very similar experience with SAM-e about 20 months ago. It did a great job in treating my atypical depression. It’s effectiveness was profound in the beginning and remained pretty good when I terminated its use five months later. I had to quit SAM-e because it made me VERY IRRITABLE (GRRRRRRRRR!) and I’m experiencing a similar (but not as bad) side effect with ENADA NADH.
So, in answer to your question, my plan is to take an NADH supplement vacation and see what happens. I hope I do not fall into a deep depression. I’ve been ramping up my exercise program in hopes of staying out of the pit.
Best wishes.
-- Ron
