I wouldn't call it magic exactly John, but it has definitely helped to cap the anger etc.
I actually feel like hell today though-woke up feeling super depressed.Could be a touch of zoloft withdrawal, foul weather (shuts down my brain within days and really sets off the depression)or a bit of both.Can't rule out the dep. either. Sleep pattern is totally shagged right now, but its very early days.

> I don't know if you saw the post, but I find it somewhat interesting that fish oil did the same thing to you as it did me. Broken sleep and dreams. I lasted about 10 days or so on it. At frist I felt great and sleep was good, but it didn't last as usual. How long did you take it?

Tried the codpiece for around two months-up to 4 or 5 gms.Really didn't help at all I'm sorry to say. However, I do find evening primrose oil to have a (slight) calming effect. I take 1g fish oil (just to finish off the huge bottle I bought) and 1g EPO.

I do intend to switch to lithobid once things settle a bit.Can't take a chance on the depression slamming in again.I'm going to aim eventually for a low-dose lithobid and lamotragine combo.

> How's the nugget?

Well, I wish they were always that big.Am forcing myself to cycle quite often too, as I always feel great afterwards.Seems to compliment the Depakote actually- no grogginess afterward at all.Are you managing to grab any exercise at all, or is the tyrannical boss sapping all your energy?

Stay well,

Col.
