I really think I'm noticing an impact from Glisodin, which I started taking about 3 days ago. It may actually be enhancing the effect of Lexapro, which I started 5 weeks ago. It is the only supplement I know of that is capable of increasing levels of superoxide dismutase and in turn increasing levels of catalase and glutation peridoxase. These are all very important antioxidant enzymes that scavenge free radicals. They can have an impact on energy levels. Some people take glisodin after they have been exposed to radiation as it may alleviate the impact of radiation on the body and mind.
Some antidepressants likely raise levels of these antioxidant enzymes(including lexapro), so taking something like glisodin should be done with some caution I guess. One concern over glisodin is the upregulation of production of these critical enzymes to the point where the body's natural production is downregulated over time. I'm not too concerned about this as I've taking so much sh*t(medication) that has likely both raised and lowered these enzymes over time that I really can't worry about how a simple supplement might have an impact. This is just my feeling on it.
So I'm thinking that glisodin might be enhancing and helping to balance(at least for the time being) the antioxidant enzyme levels also increased by Lexapro(escitalopram). It has been hypothesized that drugs like Lexapro and their positive impact on antioxidant levels may play a role in the therapeutic effects of some antidepressants. Who knows.
I think I will be taking glisodin 6 days a week for a few weeks then go down to 3 to 4 days a week to hopefully avoid totally throwing off my body's natural homeostasis.
