> > Yesterday I bought some Enada NADH, which I heard about on this board. It is supposed to increase dopamine six fold. I did notice a boost in energy and overall good mood, even less anxiety. I'ts quite pricey, but from what I have read about it, I'm going to continue.

> -- RonHello Ron,
I haven't ever taken anything over the counter that has as strong of an effect an NADH. Wow, this stuff feels as powerful as Prozac to me. I only take it every three days because the effects are so strong. What is interesting is how the increased dopamine affects my brain, I feel extremely mellow, not irritable at all, no anxiety, no worries. Amazing stuff really, just one drawback, and I'm not quite sure if this is correct but I think that too much dopamine can cause hallucinations. One night, I noticed some strange hallucinations coming on upon falling asleep.
I guess I should explain, my dx is BP2 and my symptoms when I am in a dysphoric manic state are insomnia, agitation, extreme irritability, and rarely, hallucinations, including auditory and visual. THe visual ones always occur at night and could actually be a night terror, I don't really know, but I have actually "seen" a shadow hovering over me, and sensed a presence in the room. I don't believe in ghosts, I think that the persons who have seen them probably have a psychiatric disorder and are hallucinating, but who knows?!! Really though, I haven't had anything close to that since I have become stabilized on Lamictal, except the other night I almost had an anxiety attack upon falling asleep, due to that same creepy feeling I had experienced a long time ago.
So, I am taking it slow with the NADH, I don't know if there is any connection between increased dopamine and nightterrors, hallucinations or whatever that was.
I am going to continue taking it because it does work wonders for irritability and my constant worries.
Any thoughts?
Amy
