I took inositol for about 2 months at the beginning of 2012 to help with bipolar II and I was taking 8 grams a day. What dose do you take?
Quote:
OBJECTIVE: Because they found in an earlier study that inositol, an important intracellular second-messenger precursor, was effective against depression in open and double-blind trials, the authors studied its effectiveness against panic disorder.
METHOD: Twenty-one patients with panic disorder with or without agoraphobia completed a double- blind, placebo-controlled, 4-week, random-assignment crossover treatment trial of 12 g/day of inositol.
RESULTS: The frequency and severity of panic attacks and the severity of agoraphobia declined significantly more after inositol than after placebo administration. Side effects were minimal.
CONCLUSIONS: The authors conclude that inositol's efficacy, the absence of significant side effects, and the fact that inositol is a natural component of the human diet make it a potentially attractive therapeutic for panic disorder.

That is from a
1995 study on inositol for panic disorder.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
