Oh Sorry about that with the PMs. I'm not so good about cleaning them out.

Yes, this issue has been addressed previously, but no problem...

Overall, lithium orotate is a good mood stabilizer. I take it at night. It is also relaxing but can be taken in the daytime too. It starts working right away. For immediate relief of anxiety, there is a lithium orotate nosespray.

Many people are helped by SAM-e. However, this takes some weeks to take effect and it cannot be used by people with bipolar disorder (like me). It cannot be taken together with antidepressants either.

Also, many people like L-tryptophan/5-HTP. I'm just starting to experiment with this. I think it has helped many people.

Valerian -- a great sleeping pill. It is natural, not addictive. Take a lot (at least 300mg for me) a couple hours before bedtime if you want to sleep well-- it does not give you a hangover effect. Ah but you will sleep well. You can also take this in the day, though it might make you sleepy-

For the daytime, I have liked "True Calm" from MWO plus GABA (750mg), but you can make your own formula. Taurine is also calming. I sort of mix and match with these.

I don't use any "drugs" any more. They never did me any good. I love lithium orotate, though, and I also take melatonin every night (3-6 mg).

Hope this helps.
