Supplements/ low metabolism-Larry Hoover /anyone

Posted by andromeda on June 15, 2005, at 11:51:05

Hi,
Larry, you are greatly appreciated on sharing your knowledge.
I want to thank you for posting the website for DNA Drug Reaction Profiles and the medications that are listed on that site. This is from posts you had answered on Psycho-Babble.
Even though I am unable to afford testing, I know I am a poor metabolizer of most of those meds that I have taken on that list.
Do you know if a list for alternatives is available or if you have an idea which one's would be safer to try?
I am BPII and currently have been raised up to 150 mg Lamictal. Lately I have tried Fish Oil and NADH at low doses with the higher Lamictal but became tearful and irritable right away. Fish Oil increased libido but with the other, who cares. I have little to no motivation. Some OCD in excessive ruminating. Problem in getting out and going places but once am out do OK. Impossible to be center of attention or in front of a crowd.
I don't know whether to ask Doc for Buspar (?), wait and increase Lamictal to 200 mg and then add in AD again or try an alternative.
Benzo's make me less motivated, sleepy and more depressed.
With increase in Lamictal so far I sleep less, no longer need Ambien for sleep, have less suicidal thoughts and less breakthrough crying compared to when I was on 50 mg. My moods have stabilized into the depressive phase. Very little hypomania or "normal".
Thanks for any help possible.
