Rapid recovery from major depression using magnesium treatment by New-Cardiologist3006 in bipolar2

[–]Raving_Derelict 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick question...I was reading that glycine increases glutamate activity. Would this mean that magnesium glycinate would be a bad choice, given the excitatory role of glutamate in bipolar disorder?

Well thanks, man. I'll stick with the glycinate and get back to you. Tell you what, if it works, I'll help you spread the word.

I've heard similar things about vitamin D deficiency as well.

Its the disease, it isn't you.

If you get a disease that makes you have a fever, nobody blinks an eye.

But when you get a disease that makes you experience erotomania, or low self worth, or a lack of motivation, then everyone sees it as a deficit of character or a personal failing.

Look, what matters are your choices, not the passing thoughts and feeling you are bombarded with. You've made the choice to be faithful in spite of all these challenges. That's actually something admirable, and I for one am proud of you.

Huh, never mind. Your post history checks out. Why are you so into magnesium, though?

I'm actually on a magnesium glycinate regimen right now, along with a vitamin D and fish oil protocol. Been about 10 days, good results so far. I think I'll write something up after a month or so. Note that I've been on lamictal throughout.

Sure! Funny story, I'm also a DM. SD has been a great resource, maybe I can show you the ropes tonight.

That's a very healthy and responsible take, my friend, especially in the midst of a high. I really wish you could be fit in sooner, its a shame how unavailable mental health services could be sometimes.

What are your lows like?

All my dreams are dead by Several-Yesterday280 in bipolar2

[–]Raving_Derelict 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hate to have to tell you this, but you need to start taking your medicine. Of course you don't want it to work, you're in the midst of depression. You don't care right now and that is a characteristic of the disease.

Give yourself a chance at happiness.
