I have tried COQ10 with mixed results. I could only tolerate low dosages, so for me it didn't really work, OR perhaps I didn't stick with it long enough for my body to adjust to it. It's worth a try. I started off with 30mg, but found that dose was too small. N-Acetyl-Cysteine, no, I didn't like it. I think it would work much better for bipolars experiencing manic phases. I have mainly depression and felt the NAC made it worse. I have heard the mitochondrial dysfunction theory of bipolar. Some people have tried a combo of alpha lipoic acid and Acetly-L-carnitine. The combination seems to work better than either alone. But again, I don't know how effective it is. Seems we'd have to wait for medications that address mitochondrial dysfunction.
