Bipolar II - unable to take lithium due to stomach distress, unable to take lamictal because I become hypomanic at 50 mg. Wellbutrin above 75 mg also makes me hypomanic. Trying to treat depression.
Taking 750 mg Depakote, 2 mg Klonopin, wellbutrin 75 mg and fish oil.
My pdoc recently recommended NAC and it seems like a miracle. I have energy and am alert without becoming at all irritable. Although he recommended 1000mg to 2000mg, I'm finding I can only take 600 mg time release NAC per day.
Even on this dose of 600 mg divided into two doses, I feel tense and unable to relax. Friends say I am very intense, but not angry or irritable.
Might this be because I'm mixing NAC with Wellbutrin or because I wont give up my espresso?
Has anyone else had similar reactions to NAC and how did you handle it?
I would also like to suggest that anyone who is battling depression without success, get a low dose of NAC in the health food store and try it - build up your dose slowly and see if it helps.
