I've looked around on here for any bipolar treatments or cures and I've only seen vitamin B, Ivermectin and pot being mentioned. Has anyone had any success stories regarding Ivermectin for bipolar or any other options to mention? Doctors and meds haven't worked (I know, imagine my shock).
I'm trying to help my buddy find something to help him control his temper, which is constantly costing him his job. I've used Ashwaghanda for mood balancing myself and it works, but you can only take it for a few months before any side-effects. Magnesium Threonate has been decent in leu of Ashwaghanda, but I would like to recommend more solid options for my friend as I am sure it's much worse for him than me with my own issues.
Thank you in advance!
Agree with no Marijuana. My psychiatrist said that the THC can cause psychotic breaks in us bipolar. I trust my psych doc because he's always trying to help me find natural remedies whereas my PCP loves prescribing.
ETA: My psych doc doesn't know of any natural mood stabilizers. He tries different things like visualizing calm, repeating mantras, etc. But so far only lamotrigine works for me because I have a lot of external factors impacting my mood.
