I've had good results from 6 weeks of daily supplementation with Jarrow brands:
-CDP-choline (cytidine 5-diphosphocholine), 250 mg
-Alpha GPC 300 mg (L-alphaglycerylphosphosphorylcholine)It may have even helped with my prozac withdrawal, as SSRI withdrawal "produces an 'anticholinergic rebound,' which is an interruption in production of the key neurotransmitter acetylcholine." If I don't take it, I definitely notice! Increased fatigue and irritability. (Link to quote: http://bipolar.about.com/cs/antidep/a/0207_ssridisc1.htm)
Brief Background: About 6 weeks ago, I started Lamictal 25mgs and began to withdraw from Prozac 20mgs. 3-4 week taper from Prozac, now 2-3 weeks off. In spite of a couple of low moments (typically 1-2 days after having a drink), I feel better than I have in years.
