> Maybe try a glutamatergic. There's sarcosine which is a glycine reuptake inhibitor. Can buy yourself and try 2mg a day. Also n acytlcystine enhances glutamate. Also d serine or d cycloserine. For glutamate reduction, lamictal, keppra, memantine, minocycline, amantadine. Seeing as you say you have libido, and feel more alive id say give nac or sarcrosine a shot, as alchohal lowers glutamate, so maybe the hangover is glutamate rebound. Also there is naltrexone. It's a stretch by far, but a lot of alchohalics who are helped by it say it gives an antidepressant response and makes there life better. Just my thoughts.
Bill that might just be the best thing I'd ever heard! I only wish the Dr's were thinking critically to contemplate this. I've been taking Lamictal for 10 years and lately my mood crashes shortly after I take my morning dose. I can't even take it if I've had more than two beers the previous evening.
Paradoxically I can't lower the Lamictal too far without getting very depressed.
Thanks x10!
