[QUOTE="Steely, post: 73122, member: 3301"] :mad: so sorry your last week has been so horrible! Gotta hate that, especially since she was doing so well. I did a brief websearch on Neurotonin and here is what I found for bi-polar: [I]RESULTS: The 40 open-label studies and two of the controlled trials suggested that GBP may have a role as adjunctive agent in the treatment of patients with bipolar disorders particularly when complicated by co-morbid anxiety disorder or substance abuse.
