Has anyone tried Inositol by any chance?

I haven’t tried it.

From that website

Bipolar disorder: There is some concern that taking too much inositol might make bipolar disorder worse. There is a report of a man with controlled bipolar disorder being hospitalized with extreme agitation and impulsiveness (mania) after drinking several cans of an energy drink containing inositol, caffeine, taurine, and other ingredients (Red Bull Energy Drink) over a period of 4 days. It is not known if this is related to inositol, caffeine, taurine, a different ingredient, or a combination of the ingredients.

Yes @everhopeful but it states they are unsure if it was actually the Inositol. I want to take it for symptoms of pcos , as I’ve read elsewhere it helps with weight too

You have to exercise caution when taking Inositol if you suffer with bipolar disorder.
It can induce Mania.

If that’s true @Vertigo that sucks. I wanted to take it to help with psychical health though. PCOS associated symptoms :confused:

You can try it @anon80629714.
Just start off low and gradually increase the dose.

Honestly I would ask your doctor.

Its risky business.
