A question for Bolt

[chartist]

Bolt, I replied to your chat message, but the whole chain of messages is gone. Did you get it?

Hi Art, the Chat function on this site is awful, but free. I see your message. I did not get an alert, that is why I did not see it until now.

I can answer here (otherwise you may never see it): I have not resolved my depression. I did wean myself off Prozac. I have been off Prozac for over a month. I am taking 15 mg of Lithium Orotate.

Thank you for asking. Take care.

Yes, I have never had chat messages take so long to be delivered and when I look, the chat room doesn't show that we ever communicated at all!

The reason I was asking was because I noticed that Astaxanthin helps depression in animals and has a very good safety profile. I take it myself, but not for depression so I have no first hand experience, but thought it might be worth looking into if you were interested.

Thanks Art! Looks like Simon wrote about it for PD also: scienceofparkinsons.com/202...

It has many health benefits, but that one in particular, I thought might be of interest to you. Thank you for the link!

Thank you for the information you shared. Have considered trying lithium orate but also would have to taper off my current anti-depressant (bupropion) first. Would welcome learning if the lithium is effective for you or not.

I'm not a good test for anti-depressants. I have situational depression.

Thanks for getting back to me. Hope the lithium orate is effective.
