Actually I was looking for some sort of "mood enhancer" that wasn't prescription based as one doctor told me that most of them may make u gain weight (which is one part of the source of my shitty "mood"). I was really stressed out last summer due to my job situatin and was basically a miserable bitch, up all night because my mind wouldn't settle down, and then worthless the next day due to lack of sleep - i.e. no balance in my life. I used SAM-e for a while, but didn't really experience anything noticeable except in my bank account. Then I tried Inositol - which is wonderfully cheap. I mixed in kava kava at night to sleep and some nice flavored coffee in the morning. Worked pretty well.
Life is still pretty nutty, though in a different way now. I would LOVE to find something that promotes an "even keel"- I'll be jumping on the band wagon too! (Esp since my r-ala is running out...)
I don't know what is "therapeutic doses" is for you -- I found a bottle of inositol in powder form for like $7 at a local discount nutrition store -- was "Now" brand I think
I think I originally got on inositol after reading some threads by Macro stating the amount to take - it was like 4 g? -- like 2-3 x more than the bottle says to take to get effective results.
Hmm, okay. Thanks. The last time I priced it was a time ago and it was more expensive than that. Three to four grams a day is what I was told to be therapuetic.
