In reply to Top 3 remedies for bipolar depression--please help, posted by inanimate peanut on December 26, 2009, at 15:05:34
Oh, I also wanted to add that the drug Lamictal has helped me with the depressive phases of bipolar. My psychiatrist thinks it's a better drug than Depakote. It has helped me with few side effects in my case. However, I still take the vitamins, which I believe help me further. Are you opposed to taking meds? I am not, as long as they are the right ones and I can deal with the side effects. Abilify is currently being used for bipolar. Have you tried that? Have you talked to a psychiatrist? I am not promoting medication, but I do think that if your bipolar is severe enough, medication might be a good option. That said, fish oil is very helpful in many cases, and like I said, N-acetyl-cysteine is also being used for bipolar. Other vitamins are indeed helpful, especially if your diet is poor, which in many cases it is for people with a mental illness.
