does neuroreplete actually work?

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.

    Looks 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.

    Hi 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.

        Yeah 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.

      Dear 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

    Hi 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

    I 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.

    I 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.)

    Hi 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!

      you 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?

        Hi 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.

        I 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.

        I 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.

        I 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.

        I can't speak for anyone else, but my profile is empty because I choose not to give out my personal information on the web. I googled "Neuroreplete" AFTER I had already been taking it to avoid having to call my doctor for answers-who doesn't cover my insurance anymore- and saw this question come up. I was doing well on it and wanted to share my experience. I believe that's what this website is for. I don't know if you just have bad experiences with SPAM in the past, but how are we supposed to share our experiences and reviews for something without being labeled SPAM? Do you have a better idea?

    Supplements 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.

      Thats 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.

      Boy 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.

    I just started this process the middle of April this year 2009. I am in the Dallas area and will be going to the office located on one of the post by one of their staff members. I have been with a different doc in the area, but left this week due to the staff in her office. I can see how this is working for me and I am not to the end. The phone number posted also for finding a doc in your area is also real, I spoke to them on Friday, yesterday to get a new doc to keep me on this program. I hope that those of you who do not feel these post are real and heart felt do find a place to get the treatment you need. We do not have to argue to find what we need, if this post is not for you, then keep looking. I also will not give out my personal info for safety reasons. I am so glad to find this post. My doc told me in her office on the first visit what she thought was wrong with me based on conversation and past blood work reports. I keep a copy of all my medical reports. Then she sent me for blood work, that proved everything she was saying I needed treatment for. I also have a copy of the lab results and have had my sister in law who is an RN review them. My sister in law has no connection to this doc. The post about how this stuff treats the problems not the symtoms is so true. I have been on anti depressant meds and anti anziety meds for 11 years. I am excited to be on a program that can treat me and after the program is done then I will be off all the meds. What perscription for depression or anziety has done that for anyone. I am glad I found this post and am even more blessed that I found the program. So remember the post from dallas was real, I am going to there office next week, and the phone number to get a doc is real I called them Friday July 10th, 2009 To all good luck and enjoy the blessing you are recieving from this program. I can't spell and sorry for that.

    Update: I had my neurotransmitter levels tested again this past summer after 10 months on Neuroreplete and they are back to normal again. I have one question though-I'm avoiding going to the doctor because they don't cover my teacher's insurance anymore. The doctor who I don't normally see-I see his coworker-emailed me back as per my request and told me that the neurotransmitter levels usually level out about 3-4 months after stopping and may drop slightly so I should take the capsules for another 3 months after getting tested again. I seem to be doing fine now. What should I do? Have any of you had the problems return after stopping for 3-4 months?

      I used neuro Replete and CysReplete for 6 months to help with depression. I have been off my anti-depressant since June. When I first went to my doctor, he asked if I remembered what it felt like to be happy. He then asked on a percentage scale where I was now, which was 55%. Each time I saw him, he'd ask the same question. I made it to 95%. Since June, my 'happiness scale' has dropped to about 70%, but the clarity of thought and overall feelings of well-being have stabilized. I am far better off than I was on the maximum dose of the anti-depressant I was taking. For me it worked. As for the insurance issue, I commiserate.

        Yup, I think you nailed it, girlMark.
        Formulaic posts. ("formulaic: characterized by the repetition of certain stock phrases, known as formulae.")
        I'm potentially vulnerable (depression but ultra sensitive to SSRIs).... BUT the posts & profiles really started looking ODD as I read on & on.
        Good nutrition and exercise are probably the best answer, and I will pursue these cheaper, healthier paths.
        I do feel sorry for bipolar people who have blown out their kidneys on lithium, though, and have a tougher time finding stability.
        These human bodies do wear out.... unfortunately.
