I am seriously considering trying the herbal tonics. The symptoms that bother me the most are apathy, fatigue, and low motivation. Are you saying that one or more of the tonics could help with these symptoms? In your honest opinion, what tonic should I be looking at? I'm not having severe symptoms other than the three mentioned above. How would I know if I would have Kidney or Liver Qi deficiency? I am confused as to how to choose the proper tonic. I am bipolar/schizophrenic. Most of my symptoms are related to those two illnesses. I do have digestive symptoms, but they seem to be somewhat under control with medication. I'm not having any bowel problems, but I am bloated in the abdomen. Now, I do take vitamins which help with energy somewhat, but the apathy still lingers and I have a very difficult time starting anything and going out to look for a job. Is Bu Zhong Yi Qi Wan the best tonic IYHO to start with? I'm very new to herbal tonics. Did this particular tonic help with apathy and fatigue the best, or was there one that works better for those two symptoms? Thanks in advance for your suggestions, and I think your informative posts on Chinese Medicine are very helpful. I'm just hemming and hauling about the whole thing. I guess I'm afraid I will be only complicating my situation.
