Amy,
Yes, I'm BP II. I take 600 mg/day of Lithobid which does a good job controlling my hypomania and, as you know, I take 5 mg/day of Enada NADH to treat my depressive phase and irritable mood states. I'm in week four of the NADH trial and, so far, it's working flawlessly. Time will tell if it will last.
Like you, I take various vitamins, minerals, and fish oil. I also take a daily capsule of phosphatidyl serine (PS). It is thought that PS promotes cell membrane placidity (more supple) and, thereby, improves the functioning of the neurotransmitter receptors. PS is kind of spendie at roughly $0.75 per capsule (containing 100 mg of PS). The PS, vitamins, minerals, and fish oil are all beneficial for me, but no where near as profound as the Enada NADH.
I hear ya with regard to exercise. It's essential for my mental health. Also, prayer helps my brain and I wonder what biochemical reaction mechanism is behind this result.
Have you had any more hallucinations that may be attributed to the Enada NADH? Hey, I was thinking that maybe you could benefit by trying the 2.5 mg tablet size of Enada NADH. The smaller dose size tablet is more expensive on a per milligram basis, but if it works better for you, it may be worth it. As I'm sure you know, cutting a 5 mg tablet in two is not effective since this would breach the enteric coat and expose the unprotected NADH to the destructive gastric juices in the stomach.
There are plenty of vendors that sell the 2.5 mg Enada NADH product. Here’s a link to the first one I came across in my bookmarks. You might shop around for the lowest price.
