It enhances seratonin. I took some along with a combo supplement called "Mood" along with my old Wellbutrin/Abilfy cocktail and achieved 3 days full remission with it. Unfortunately, the combo of supplements and drugs pooped out after only 3 days, but it did lead me to decide to try Parnate so I could achieve full remission again. I realized the Wellbutrin/Abilify cocktail was numbing me out...I wasn't depressed, but I was anhedonic.
Anyway, the "Mood" supplement helped boost both seratonin and dopamine and the combination helped -- for a while. It was safe to take with my meds, though, because neither wellbutrin or Abilify touches seratonin. If you're on another drug that does, it isn't safe to combine them.
What, if anything, are you currently on?
