In reply to Top 3 remedies for bipolar depression--please help, posted by inanimate peanut on December 26, 2009, at 15:05:34
I am bipolar/schizophrenic, and I, too, suffer from mainly depression even though I am on meds for that purpose. I also need a variety of vitamins to stay healthy. Right off the bat, Fish oil is very helpful for bipolar. I only take 1,500mg per day, but it does help. Vitamins and minerals that have helped me and may help you include: Vitamins E and C, Vitamins B1, B6, B3, and B12; low dose borage oil. Some minerals that may or may not help include zinc picolinate, manganese gluconate, and magnesium (oxide or citrate). Some sources say that N-acetyl-cysteine is the supplement of choice for bipolars. There is growing evidence that it does help bipolars. That's all I have for now. Good luck!
