Colin,

> Last time we 'spoke', you were tinkering with your NADH dose, experimenting with TMG (wasn't it?)to help alleviate the bane of your life...irritability! Is NADH still your lith. adjunct, or have you taken any other, more drastic measures??

I posted on this topic over on PB-alt eariler today. Here is a link to the post:

> My Lamictal lifeline is still producing the goods(300mg for some time now), and I eventually hit 20mg Prozac, which was a bit of a gamble that seems to have worked.

Excellent!

> I have a definite ADD diagnosis to keep my BP11 company on those long winter nights.

Which one is the more talkative, and do they keep you awake at night chatting with each other?

> My dabblings have led me to try out some dopaminergic agents, the latest of which is Ritalin (super cautiously-jus' 5mg a day), which helps, but hits my med. sensitive pea-sized grey matter like a cannonball.It's only been a week, so the Jury's still out.Otherwise, things have been relatively smooth, with the Lam/Prozac even carrying me through the death of my father without a serious relapse.Thank God for Lamictal.

I am sorry that you lost your Dad, Colin.

Have you ever considered Provigil?

> I've yet to get around to buying a new computer(great ruse to use somebody else's), so I only get to look in occasionally.

The main PB page fills up quickly these days, so I hope you check back in soon or else you will have to find this post in the archives.

> Any sign of the old mob (Mitch-Vader, JohnJ (TCA)etc>?

johnj checks in periodically, but I don't think I've seen Ritch (Mitch) lately. Mitch has ADHD in conjunction with BP, right?

> Let me know how you're getting along, Grasshopper....

Right now, great! Two weeks ago, terrible. I’m keeping my meds, vitamins, supplements, and etc steady for a while to see if I'm cycling (bipolar cycling that is, not to be confused with mountain bike cycling or road bike cycling). I've got some l-tyrosine, l-tryptophan, and l-taurine that I'm itching to try (one at a time). But right now I'm doing great and I don't want to rock the boat with anything new (for the time being).

Be well my friend.

-- Ron
