In reply to Alternative Bipolar Regimen needed..., posted by billyho on March 29, 2012, at 1:04:17
I officially have Bipolar I, possibly w/ psychotic features (I mean, I have psychotic issues, I just don't know that its part of the official diagnosis).
In addition to 30 Abilify, I do a kind of souped up orthomolecular routine. The supplements don't pack enough punch to replace the Abilify, but at least I'm just on that and a PRN med, not some crazy cocktail like in the past.
Here goes the combo:
(1) 10 grams vitamin c (time-release, 5 grams 2x daily);(2) b-100 (time-release);(3) time-release niacinamide, 3grams (1.5grams x 2); (4) 1600IU natural form E+400micrograms selenium (the selenium is in the capsule--very convenient, I must say); (5) 2 grams taurine (2 caps, 1 dose); (6) 2 grams green tea extract (2 500mgs caps x2); (7) 30mgs OptiZinc (supposedly a "superior" form of zinc. On permasale at vitacost).Try www.doctoryourself.com for tips, info, links, ideas you can google, etc.
