Hi -
B6 has always been good to me. However so has lecithin in small dosages - although it does aggravate eczema (soy I think). DMAE was somewhat useful but did turn off my creative side for many months taking it. B3 was useful too but seemed to aggravate my eczema - possibly raising histamine too much? Never tried manganese supplements - get the feeling might make me go loopy though.
I've tried soooo many things. Basically my mainstays are lowish dose B vits (+P5P), vitamin C, cal/mag/zinc, fish oil, low dose vit E, cod liver oil, GLA, occasional NAC, lithium orotate, 5htp/tryptophan and various ginsengs. None of these things ever aggravate my mood swings. One of the best cheapo multivits I found was Berocca plus, which combines B vits, cal/mag/zinc and vitamin C in good dosages. Taking that cuts down the amount of pills I have to cart around.
And that's after years of spending tons on this and that!
The folate connection is interesting, because I always feel a lot better if I'm getting my green leafies in.
Talking of autism, I just found out my grandpa suffered from aspergers and my grandma was in fact 'strongly bipolar' - I never knew this until really grilled my father - it never ocurred to him to tell me!
