I have been using my manic energies to search for different antimanic agents.
I has come to my attention that most of the effective mood stabilizers have protein kinase c inhibition abilities.
Here are some of the protein kinase c inhibitors that I have tried and there effects.
Vitamin E - Reportedly blunts excess protein kinase c espression. Definately has an antimanic effect at 2000IU. However it has a dopamine enhancing effect, that made me quite irritable.
But it did completely stop all mind racing.Fish Oil - Works for mind racing and cycling of emotion. Keeps me in a constant state, but again the dopamine effect makes me irritable and angry.
Quercetin - Wonderful wonderful. I say with all honesty that if you are manic, then 500-1000mg od quercetin will definately calm the core of you down. It suposedly is one of the most potent PKC inhibitors (natural) available.
Selenium - Definately will take you out of a manic high, but it makes me depressed if I take more than 200 mcgs.
After the descovery that Tamoxafan was antimanic I have been interested in this area. I am convinced that PKC really is the final common target of mood stabalizers.
