I was thinking about this post the other day... and I've come to realize that this post was nothing more than just a marketing trick to sell you the Relacore product.

The reason I'm coming back to this thread after it has been posted almost two months ago - is because I actually tried this Relacore product and was left BITTERLY disappointed. After starting to have all the usual side-effects that people reported having from taking that product, I started looking more into it and found out that Relacore, CortiStress, and CortiSlim products are considered a grade A scam. They are not even FDA approved, and have gotten multiple warnings for false claims in advertising.


So I just wanted to point this thread out once again and warn people that the original poster may have been one of the most clever online scam artists I've seen to date. I ended up buying that Relacore product after reading his very convincing story, and only wasted $80 and some of my health (the product makes most people sick and gives them headaches).

I realized this after I have read the above post once again this week and the FIRST sentence of that post was what made my realization. Tell me if this doesn't already sound sketchy to you:



So please be aware of posts that mention one specific product - such as this one. But also keep in mind that I might be wrong. It all comes down to which sources you trust - do you trust what someone says on the internet, or do you make your own conclusions through your experience?

Okay, I'm not a sales person or anything, I'm actually just a biology and chemistry undergraduate. I'm sorry Relacore did not work for you, but understand that bipolar disorder is a multifaceted illness with many potential causes. I think it is unfair that you are blaming me for its failing. Everyone has different body chemistry and whatever works will undoubtedly be different for each individual. I was merely reporting what worked for me and i didn't make any of it up. I had been on everything, Lithium, Trileptal, Topamax, Depakote... I could go on to name the other dozen medications I've been on since I was diagnosed at age 13 and nothing worked.
If you really don't believe me that I'm just a biochem major, go ahead and read my blog. It is my goal to become a biochem professor and do research on the biochemistry of bipolar disorder: [link removed]
I spend a lot of my time reading the latest research on this so I can help people like you.
Again, I'm sorry Relacore didn't work for you, and I'm sorry you wasted your money, but I'm sure you've wasted your money on other prescription drugs as well. I suffered with bipolar disorder for eight years before I landed on a medication that worked for me, so just be patient, you'll find the right combination.

Well about six months ago I read about Relacore and decided to try it to help curb the affects of bipolar and ADHD. Since I have been taking it I notice that the affects of the disorder seems to be less severe. I take Relacore with St. Johns wart and omega 3(fish oil) and the combination seems to work best for me. I don't know the health risks of taking Relacore or the other 2 but I do know that they work for me. I don't have the mood swings that I had before and I don't notice any side affects. This is just my experience taking Relacore and that every persons chemical makeup may be different, I hope you find a combination that works for you whether it be prescription drugs or other alternatives. I plan on getting blood test every year as I did with prescription drugs to see if any damaging affects occur. I am not a sales person for Relacore or a doctor, but a construction worker that was at the end of his ropes. I am just stating my opinion on how my attitude has change since taking it.

I would have to say this is a sales pitch as well, and that melojo and neuroru are the same person, similar lines/pitch and identical phrasing ie
"at the end of your rope". I have never heard a person with bipolar use suicide phrasing in general speech let alone two in one thread (I guess it just hits a little close to home, unless your manic).

if your bonofide and real good for you, I've had major depression since I was 15, treated on and off every year or two, and was rediagnosed as bipolar 3 years ago (I'm 33, so mental illness has been part of my life for 18 years) and more than wish I'd never had any of it (cept the mania )

I don't know why they deleted the link to my research journal blog... I'll even e-mail it directly to you if you really don't believe me. I'm not the same person as the previous guy who posted saying relacore was working. This is the honest truth. The person who originally messaged me, saying relacore didn't work, I sent a personal message, with the link. They read my blog and they now believe me. I'm just trying to help, and like I said before everyone is different, Relacore may not work for everyone, just like Lithium or Lamictal or others don't work for everyone. And the only reason I chose Relacore was because it was cheaper than the others, but I could care less if it was Cortislim of any of the others that reduce the cortisol. Many people with bipolar disorder are helped by prescriptions and I suggest you try all of those before you try an alternative like this. I happened to have tried everything, the last of which was Topamax, which made me unable to think my way out of a wet paper bag.
Once again, I'm a biochem undergraduate, and I want to find better treatments for bipolar disorder... that is my ultimate goal. I can't believe the people I'm trying to help are being so unfair to me.

Also, if I were a salesperson for relacore, why would I recommend only 1/3 of the dose?
