This morning I took my usual 500mg inositol (with 500mg niacinamide) and I already feel too hyper. This is bizarre, as when I take it at night (with gaba pill) I don't get this reaction. In fact I can take 1,500mg IF I take the gaba and not react like this. A couple of nights ago I tried taking 1,500mg inositol early in the evening, WITHOUT gaba. (By the way if I take niacinamide without inositol, I can end up feeling quite low and depressed).
Result - I was in a bit of a mess. I suddenly got all euphoric and felt quite emotionally wobbly to say the least. Sometimes I think I really am bipolar.
They say inositol and lithium shouldn't be taken together, as they cancel each other out??
Right now I'm thinking I'll go with lith orotate in the day and inositol at night (have been taking lith orotate for ages now).
I'm also going to go back on the picamilon as it's been a 3 week break now, and I don't want to be spending a whole truck-load of money trying to find something that works as well. Hopefully seeing as I've taken a break from it it will begin to work again now. I may have to supplement it with more niacinamide though.
I am a little worried that I have destroyed my brain's own ability to make it's own gaba from taking the picamilon too long. Is this possible??? Maybe I will take some l-glutamine as well, to produce more gaba.
Oh what a mess....
