In reply to chromium deficiency in atypical depression?, posted by Larry Hoover on February 5, 2003, at 16:25:15
I took about 400mcg for about 2 months, I took it mostly for weight loss. I didn't lose any weight and I didn't notice any help with depression symptoms. Most chromium picolinate pills come in 200mcg. 600mcg doesn't sound all that high. Basically 3 pills a day. I once bought gum with chromium picolinate in it.
I did try taking chromium picolinate with Celexa about 10 months ago. I had to quit, because it was way to activating. I started to get that anxious feeling I got when I started Celexa. So with an AD, I believe it works for me, but on it's own, it really didn't do much.
There are a lot of studies out there on Chromium, so you will have lots to read.
