Dove,
Thank you very much for the info. I am really sorry to hear you had such a bad reaction to inositol and Prozac. That must have
been awful. I hope things get better in the future. I've seen from other posts that you are struggling, and I appreciate your
help during a difficult time.
> I started taking 500mgs per day, that was the low end, felt the effects within an hour or two during the first week. The effects were agitation, anger, ect..
>
> Higher dosage, 500mgs. five times a day, again I felt the effects within a couple hours and was so agitated I actually thought I needed to be locked up. The mood shift was exactly like the Prozac except I had more energy with the inositol.

> I felt the inositol very quickly, not like the TCA's and others. I also felt the Prozac within hours of taking it. I just went through a fairly horrible prozac 6-week trial. 4-6 hours after my last prozac and I felt like a different person. I questioned my doc about this and he didn't give me any real concrete answers other than I may metabolize the meds too quickly. So, this could add to the fact that I seem to feel the effects of psychotropic meds early on.

> The price I paid for a bottle of 100 (500mgs) Inositol tablets was $11.99, buying two bottles at once (same amount) cost me $17. I also crushed the tablets and put them in juice, I don't recall (it was at least a year ago) if the effects were different.
