Does anyone know if neuroreplete really can work for depression? What about depression in bipolar?
I'm bipolar and after years and years of trying every drug out there and not getting any results at all (or drugs that only work for a very short time and then just quit) I've decided to look into alternative treatments.
I'm interested if anyone has (or knows someone that has) actually tried this?
From what I've read about it thus far the science of it seems to make sense, but then
again a lot of things sound good in theory...if you know what I mean.

Re: does neuroreplete actually work?
Sat, March 3, 2007 - 1:07 PMLooks like your wrote this question one year ago, but figured I'd put out an answer. I was "diagnosed" bipolar about nine years ago and took meds for five years. I was terrifeid to go off the meds. I have been medication free for over four years, thanks to the power of sunlight and NUTRITION. For more info see my website:
www.integrativenutrition.com/gra...aspx
I think neuroreplete is extremely powerful and I highly recommend people try it. Of note, you have to not be on your regular pharmaceutical meds. The idea is four amino acids and some cofactors help rebuild neurotransmitters in the brain. I used it when I had Lyme's Disease and couldn't believe how much it helped me with depression. When I healed, I no longer needed it and had no withdrawal symptoms when I stopped. I only took it for 6 months and am by no means an expert, but am offering my opinion here.
Good luck! I recommend it, although it probably would be best if you could find a doctor to follow you with the supplement.

Re: does neuroreplete actually work?
Mon, June 4, 2007 - 7:08 PMHi Aliza,
I am also reading your post a year late. You have probably already started on a neuroreplete program and can verify for yourself the efficacy of Amino Acids. I have been bipolar most of if not all my life. I did very well for about five years on various pharmaceuticals and except for the usual side effects and changes associated with taking such powerful drugs I was functioning in life... so to speak.
There were a few remaining symptoms left unchecked by whatever meds I was taking. Cyclical bouts of fibromyalgia, sheer exhaustion every four to six hours, cloudy thinking, sensitivity to temperature changes especially coolness, 2-3 nights of insomnia, various digestion problems, and never really feeling full. Now these are light weight livable symptoms compared to the total dysfunction I would be experiencing if not on four different kinds of prescribed pharmaceuticals to stop me from severely cycling through manic/depressive episodes.
But one magic day my psych doctor came up with this Amino Acid program. I was skeptical and terrified at the idea of coming off my meds being well aware of how dependent I was on them. I thought I could possibly lose my mind, and my business and my husband but mostly just myself. I let her slowly take me down on some of my dosages - then went onto the Aminos.
The first week wasn't too bad but the second week I felt very shaky. Not sure I would be able to hold myself stable. I was very emotional, something the other meds keep in check. And I just wasn't sure if I was feeling right or not. I reported my misgivings to the doc and she made an adjustment.
That did the trick. I take about 14 caps neuroreplete, cysreplete and a couple others. The best thing ever. My whole being has been affected. The best thing is not having to spend energy keeping myself together. I can even go walking out in cold weather and my joints and muscles don't ache. So many things that used to annoy me no longer bother me.
It's been about nine months and I'm now living in the world of it's okay!
My best to all who are seeking. -

Re: does neuroreplete actually work?
Sat, December 13, 2008 - 6:52 AMYeah it works. I've been taking it for 4 months now after a year and a half of intense anxiety (I missed 3 weeks of work) and I am feeling more calm, not waking up with anxiety and not feeling depressed. The cloudy thinking and memory problems are gone. I have my neurotransmitters tested back in September and it showed low norepinephrine and low seratonin. I know it's due to a year of constant stress and lack of exercise and good food. Try it out. It's great and there were no side effects except a little indigestion the first week. It went away after a few days. There's a website if you google it and my DO prescribed it for me. I also think prayer worked in my case too.

Thu, June 14, 2007 - 10:32 AMDear Aliza, Heidi & Jana,
I am extremely interested in this treatment but I don't know who I need to contact to go through the program. If you recommend your doctor could you email me or reply to this post with the details so that I can book a consultation.
For everyone's info, details about neuroreplete and amino acid testing is found here: www.chknutrition.com but unfortunately they don't give details of qualified physicians that are trained in this.
Any help with this would be grately appreciated!
Thanks,
Danny

Re: does neuroreplete actually work?
Sat, June 23, 2007 - 9:48 AMHi Aliza, I have been working with NeuroReplete for almost five years. In my search for the alleviation of my own depression, I came across a c NeuroResearch and their line of amino acid products. I was out of my depression in about three weeks. My ADHD symptoms also were gone. I am a psychologist and this program changed the course of my career. I was trained by Marty Hinz,MD and now conduct a practice almost entirely devoted to NeuroReplete. This program aleviates depression symptoms. The challenge for people with a bi-polar issue is the mania. The prescription Lithium has terrible side effects. It is possible to regulate the mania with a non-prescription form of lithium called "lithium orotate". If you work with a health practiononer who has been trained by Dr. Hinz, they can regulate your neurotransmitter levels in about five weeks. Then ask that person to help you regulate the lithium levels to the correct theraputic dose. You will have to remain on this program indefinitely but you will be symptom free.
For a list of practioners, go to neuroassist.com.
Good luck, Ross

Re: does neuroreplete actually work?
Wed, August 1, 2007 - 2:21 PMI found this site by search of NeuroReplete. I have been recommended by a seemingly knowledgeable and progressive MD to start taking NeuroReplete. Today was my first dosage and considering my past experience with prescription drugs, I only took half dosage (2 pills)
I am cautiously optimistic that this supplement will be of significant benefit. I will update this post regularly.

Re: does neuroreplete actually work?
Sat, January 31, 2009 - 5:11 PMI have suffered with severe depression and anxiety for about 10 years. I was very, extremely skeptical about Neuroreplete and Cysreplete after having been on a myriad of antidepressant SSRI's. I thought it was just a money making scheme and I was scared.
Let me just say that I'm glad I did my research and I'm glad I tried it because it has made a WORLD OF DIFFERENCE. I had my psychologist ask a phychiatrist about Neuroreplete and he dismissed it which made me even more anxious. These aminos, combined with B vitamins and Omega 3's have been the absolute difference for me.
(I should also add that I am on 5mg. of Lexapro, but I was on that before starting the aminos and was still very symptomatic. Side effects of Lexapro above 5mg. were too bad for me to increase my dose.)

Re: does neuroreplete actually work?
Fri, February 27, 2009 - 10:41 AMHi all,
I am extremely curious about neuroreplete and wondered if any of you could update me on how you got on with it? I have just been diagnosed with depression and have been prescribed fluoxetine (which is just prozac without the brand name) but am pretty scared to try it. I much prefer the sound of neuroreplete but would be really grateful for further advice as I see SSRIs as a 'last resort.' Many thanks! -

Re: does neuroreplete actually work?
Fri, February 27, 2009 - 11:47 AMyou know, this whole thread REALLY looks like spam. I know this is the only link that comes up when you search for that product, but all of the posters have a have similar writing style and empty profiles, that are empty in the same exact way (no info other than age and location, first names only, no nicknames, no 'further info', no interests, no other tribes). What gives? -

Re: does neuroreplete actually work?
Fri, February 27, 2009 - 3:24 PMHi girl Mark,
I'm not sure it is spam. I have seen neuroreplete recommended on other forums but this seems to be the most detailed. I personally excluded writing my hobbies etc. in my profile because I just wanted to quickly write and wasn't really on here to make buddies or for people to find out more about me. I'm from the United Kingdom where neuroreplete isn't sold but I'm interested in the mechanisms by which it works so perhaps I can buy the supplements separately and use them in a similar way.

Re: does neuroreplete actually work?
Fri, February 27, 2009 - 5:10 PMI agree with you Girl.. But I caution you in calling things SPAM.. Some people take offense to people calling things spam and can be pretty obdurate in their harrassment for it.
One thing.. B vitamins as well as omega 3's are well-known to be imortant in brain function. I would not think many woudl run out and decide to buy this stuff however from this thread with 2 unidentified people who just happened to jump on tribe to tell all their friends about it.

Re: does neuroreplete actually work?
Fri, April 24, 2009 - 10:24 AMI dont know whats going on with those profiles, but I work with NeruoWellness. I am a very real person and I care a lot about what NeuroWellness is doing to truly help people without hurting them. Neurotransmitter therapy and amino acid therapy is about addressing the cause of the problems not treating the symptoms like the dangerous perscription drugs most people take. Most perscription drugs cause more damage to the body than they do to heal it.
I have worked with Dr. Robert Neff and Dr. Ross at NeuroWellness for over a year and I know their programs are successful!
NeuroWellness has been doing client tracking and they have a proven 70% success rate with all their clients! Thats unheard of for any treatment. My roomate also suffers from ADHD and he is in the ADHD program at NeuroWellness. I know for a fact the he has experienced symptom relief and is able to focus a lot better.
Go to www.neurowellness.com and read about what they offer and if you have questions call Dr. Robert Neff at (972) 386-9776.
If you have any questions of comments for me I would love to chat.

Re: does neuroreplete actually work?
Sat, May 23, 2009 - 7:13 AMI know my post isn't scam since the last time I checked I was alive and breathing and typing this. Boy are you skeptical and jaded. If you don't want to try it, don't try it, but since my last post I've been taking Neuroreplete for 10 months and am 99.99% symptom free of anxiety and depression and OCD. I believe I'm supposed to stop the system in 2 weeks so we'll see what happens then.
And for your information, I choose not to write anything in my profile because frankly, it's none of your business.

Re: does neuroreplete actually work?
Thu, March 26, 2009 - 7:08 PMSupplements never work, they would be medications if they did. Supplements are substances that never made it as medications.
Only platinum, iridium and vanadium do something.
Iridium installs telepathy, vanadium is for cannabis induced brain changes.

Re: does neuroreplete actually work?
Fri, April 24, 2009 - 10:37 AMThats not true.
"Whole food supplements" are very different than the "fractionated supplements" you buy Wal-Mart! I know you think the internet is a big scam, but you just are not looking in the right places.
Our bodies build up toxicity because of all the processed crap we eat. We were never supposed to put that stuff into our bodies and we dont get the nutrition we need from eating fake stuff. Thats why we all suffer from neurotransmitter deficiencies... Whole food supplements are natural and they are what our bodies need to function correctly.

Re: does neuroreplete actually work?
Sat, May 23, 2009 - 7:14 AMBoy are you naive. Speaking from experience? After 10 months on Neuroreplete, I'm better. Whereas, I went a year without it and wasn't even able to go to work. Maybe you should check your research before writing something that you have no knowledge of. -
