Hi all ! woulnt you be over the moon if you found a way out of your depression ?.
THIS IS NOT AN ADVERT AND I AM NOT A SALES PERSON. and I am not HYPOMANIC !
I AM AWARE that we all react differently to supplements and meds.
but since taking SAM-e I feel like a new man.
Sam-e is not recommended for those with Bipolar disorder.
I believe that this is because of its potential to induce mania.
Being Bipolar 2 + ADD and on Olanzapine I think my tolerance is probably better
than if I was bipolar 1.
On 22/8/15 Due to frustration with my doctor not referring me to a P/doc.
and being reluctant to put me on a med combo (fear of inducing mania)
I understand but have never had full blown mania only mild psychosis just before I was diagnosed bipolar 2 (24/12/04) what a great Christmas present !.
Anyway where was I ?.
Oh yes on the 22/8/2015 I started taking SAM-e 400mg which immediately
induced hypomania which I always enjoy (only once last year for five weeks in May probably due to the bright spring sunlight. I am very light sensitive.)
I took 400mg for three days and then reduced my daily dose and I slowly came down with the aid of DARK Therapy. After seven days of taking SAM-e
I stopped after some stomach aches. I have now been off SAM-e for over a week and I am relaxed and well. Its as if my bipolar and all its symptoms have been reset to zero. Yes I am euphoric but not hypomanic.
No more depression, hyposomnia. lack of motivation, no energy, aches and pains and chronic fatigue symptoms.
What has happened to me ? How can this be ?
I am waiting for the crash to come because I know Bipolar so well.
I feel so alive and well and am enjoying life for the first time since taking Olanzapine which puts you in a state of moderate depression.
If you are bipolar 2 I would urge you to try this supplement with vitamin B12
and folic acid 800mg. This should stop some side effects. Ensure you get SAM-e without Mannitol as it causes stomach pains.
Do your own research on SAM-e.
A WORD of WARNING !
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE BE VERY CAREFULL IF YOU ARE BIPOLAR 1 AND AM CONSIDERING TRYING THIS SUPPLEMENT.
IF YOU DO , START ON A VERY LOW DOSAGE (100MG A DAY ) AND IF YOU FEEL YOU ARE GOING MANIC STOP IMMEDIATELY.
I am living proof that this stuff works.
God bless you all.
