> I forgot to mention that I'm sorry you were in so much pain but glad that you are better able to deal with it now. Definitely sounds like the SJW has been good for you. Have you ever tried d-phenylalanine for the pain or would that be contraindicated with lithium or for bi-polar in general?

**Thanks, Kara. That really means alot. I've spent the last two beatiful days dragging about indoors, lugging laundry that feels like 2 tons, sleeping. Everything is extra hard at these times but I'm lucky I'm no longer working (a mixed blessing) and can give in to the 'vapors' when I need to. But it makes me feel like life is passing me by and is very isolating. There's nothing to do about it except be in the moment with it. Getting a kind word of support during these times means more than anyone can imagine.I've tried L-tyrosine and it defintely gives me a lift. But D-Phenyl intrigues me. I've tried the DL form and it was a little too buzzy, but I've heard that the D form is better for depression. What is your experience of it? - Barbara
