Have BPII and depression along with ADD (I call it the 'triple crown' ;-)). The lamictal seems to have smoothed out my moods but I still often suffer from periods of low to moderate depression. In the past I tried SAMe (before being on the lamictal) and it made me quite manic.
Today, however, it suddenly occured to me that I might tolerate it better now that I'm on the lamictal.
I've also been reading several threads on the alternative board about the mood elevating and anxiety reducing properties of inositol.
So, (rambling on a bit) today I purchased a 20 pack of jarrow SAMe and an 8oz jar of Country Life inositol. Took 400mg SAMe and 2 tsp. inositol and I'm feeling a major boost in mental energy, clarity and mood elevation. The combo has really 'amped' me up (not manic though, so far) and I wondering if others have had similar experiences with prescription and supplement combos.
