Hey folks....I am now trying a Ginseg (Korean Red) tab with my depakote/expival, Welbutrin, and Prozac...and clonazepam. I know it sounds like *a lot*, but I see it as using a 'natural' stimulant vs. say Adderall. (Nothing against amphetamine, just docs around here won't prescribe.)
Ginseng also helps males with testosterone, and of course sex drive, which would help bring me up a few notches with sex drive and such. I've also heard tons of other great info about Ginseng...and I asked my doc, and he said "no problem"...as I am more "soft" bipolar with depression and social anxiety. (One seems to cause the other.) Plus, I take a mood stabalizer, and I really hope this works out ok. The nice thing is good Ginseng is available almost everywhere, so I buy the best, most potent Korean Red.
I know for a fact Ginseng has raised my testosterone and sex drive in the past, as I had a before/after test with my doc at the time. The values where not "sky-high", just more in a normal range.
Anyhow...I'll keep posted how it's going.
Best,
Jay

yes, ginseng can be good.what dose do you take? do you take breaks as suggested?
I like siberian ginseng too (eleuthero). Have you tried it?.
Thanks
