bipolar depression alternative

Read somewhere of a study being done with preliminary findings that N-Acetyl-Cysteine may be of use for mania and depression. So far, it's just preliminary. I am trying this with some other supplements: Acetyl-L-Carnitine, B1, B5, vitamin C, fish oil, and N-Acetyl-l-cysteine. Been a little more than a week. Have seen some improvement in depression, but they say it takes a long time to see results with NAC. They say because it raises glutathione levels this may help with bipolar disorder. ???????

Forgot to mention that I also just added a very small dosage of DL-Phenylalanine (375mg) to the mix: B1, B5, fish oil, vitamin C, N-Acetyl-Cysteine, and Acetyl-l-carnitine. Tried methionine, which made me feel strange, but I don't think I gave it enough time. Have tried Tyrosine numerous times in the past, and it just doesn't help at all with depression for me. We'll see.......
