In reply to INOSITOL..ANY positive/negative experiences?, posted by disney4 on January 28, 2003, at 16:01:47
> After reading the various studies done on this natural substance, I wanted to see what results, if any, people have had from using inositol. It sounds so promising for depression and anxiety, but as with any natural substance, there is so much quackery that can occur.
I did a trial of Inositol a number of years ago due to the good reports I had been reading at the time. Many people find it quite helpful in cutting through both depression and anxiety; however, I had a horrible experience with it. I was incredibly irritable, angry, frustrated, nerved-up and miserable.
I did give it another trial while taking Neurontin but had the very same reaction. So, as far as my mileage goes, Inositol has never brought about a positive experience. Of course, depending on your dx and how many other variables, there is only one way to find out if it would be of any aid to you.
Good Luck!
