It seemd to enhance the depth of my emotion. It kind of made me a little too religiously paranoid. It helped my physical anxiety. It made my hear less coarse. It made the cup half full.
>I definitely need my emotional range (depth) enhanced. Many times, my emotional range is kinda restrictive. I feel emotionally numb sometimes (even without meds). Many times, though, I seem to express emotion by how I talk, but I simply to feel it. Also, when I hear a emotional song or something, I feel emotions for like a second only and then they go away and I go numb. I wonder what causes this...
It sounds like, according to what you say, that inositol is a good choice to help with the emotional deadness. I wonder if inositol depletion (presumably if I have it to begin with w/o lithium, epival, tegretol) could cause a restrictive range of emotions.
