cool. Do you know if you can dissolve picolinate under your tongue? I did try it (although I took it in the morning) and it upset my stomach. (That has been my main obstacle with meds now--I get so sick to my stomach from the SSRIs, which is probably what I need to be on!) Can't take b vitamins for this reason--ARGHHHH. It really seems like if you have severe stomach problems and a mental illness you are totally out of luck!
Also, I found some studies out of Berkley and I believe picolinate is banned in the UK (?? not sure on this) because of chromosomal damage. Scared me. Also, I think the Berkeley paper indicated it affects neurotransmitters (but they didn't elaborate) so people with mood problems should be careful.
I think I may try the picolinate again, this time at night as you suggested (I still have the practically full bottle of it), but all of these supplements will have to wait until I am done with the hormone testing. Unfortunately, I seem to be as hyper sensitive to "natural" alternatives as I am to standard medications.
You must get so sick of me shooting down your suggestions! My stomach has just not had a lot of luck tolerating anything!! I'm desperate enough to try the picolinate again, however.
Thanks for the links about DMAE.
