In reply to Does Alpha Lipoic Acid have any AD effect?, posted by rovers95 on April 16, 2010, at 21:45:21
Yes, I've noticed that it does have a slight AD effect for me. I seem to have a little more energy and motivation to get out of bed if I take it. However, it is not generally used for depression, but I believe it can help if you're taking all the other supplements generally used for depression. The only thing I noticed was that if I took a very large of dose of alpha lipoic acid, I actually felt worse. So I would suggest trying about 25-50mg per day for awhile, and then after a few weeks, take it every other day or every two days because it is partially fat soluble and after awhile you may not need to take it everyday. That's been my experience with it. Good luck!
