Thanks! I first did try a calcium/magnesium supplement, but now am switching to a magnesium and trace mineral liquid supplement. It tastes terrible, btw! But too soon to tell if it is working well for me as I just started it this weekend.
Anyone try inositol? I've had to take lower amounts of it, but find it effective in gaining energy and aleviating depression, somewhat. Still may need my Prozac though!
I'm taking the powdered form at only a little over a gram in the morning, and then sometimes another gram in the afternoon. Afraid of it activating hypomania, as I am bp, but that's an unfortunate risk for me at this time of year!!
I may be able to increase the Inositol later in the fall and winter when I am typically at my most depressed as they used up to 12 grams, and sometimes more, in clinical trials with it.
Anyone taking inositol with choline? Wonder if that might be better for me presently in combo due to the risk of cycling upwards.
Best,
