> Anthony, forgive my butting in here, but I found your post interesting and had some thoughts for you...First, if you still want to try getting a stimulant effect from nicotine, you might want to try nicotine gum(for people trying to quit smoking), it's got to be healthier then chewing tobacco, and I have read posts from others who use it. Also, on the Licorice extract...if you have any problem with high blood pressure, you need to moniter yourself, because licorice is notorious for raising blood pressure.
> Hope you don't mind the advise. Like you, I have never experienced "mania", only depression. though I've heard that bi-polar is harder to treat, sometimes I think it would be worth it to get to experience at least some "alive"ness once in a while! Good luck! CarolAnnHi CarolAnn,
You certainly weren't "butting in", I really appreciate your response and the nicotine-gum advice certainly makes sense. I don't have a history of high blood pressure, and I tolerated parnate pretty well in the past, so should be okay w/ the Licorice.
Thanks so much for responding, It's feels good to know that others actually can relate to the isolation these circumstances bring about.Anthony
