Vicodin, or hydrocodone, is enough to lift me out of a terrible mood. I wish doctors's would consider it as first line mood therapy. I have never gotten addicted to it. I use it for fibromyalgia pain, but it has the nice secondary quality of removing my depression, sometimes for good because I end up having a terrific time on it.
I hope you keep up that Li Orotate nasal a while longer to see, for the rest of us, if it's really doing anything. Cheers and hope you're feeling better, Ms. Kitty. - Barbara
> That's exactly what I have the HBC one. I'm really sensitive though to EVERYTHING so I didn't take it today and I feel a lift. However two days of it....I'm not sure. It could be the mild depression I feel. But I feel a lift today, so who knows! I'll monitor from here. I also went from 450 mg of Trileptal to 300mg two days ago as well. Maybe that's helping with a fog/mild depression. I'll do one thing at a time. I'll give this reduction a few days and then add the Li. again and see what happens (only if my mood doesn't remain lifted). My main thing is depression so being on just a mood stablizer seems silly...but I also took some opium last night (hehe....ok, not opium but just 1/2 of a vicodin for a terrible headache). That definitely mellows one out nicely.
