Hi Dr Yasdi,
Thank you so much for publishing this information, I found it as just the right time. I have a very complex medical history of chronic pain, Bipolar II, PTSD, arthritis, fibromyalgia, prior Graeves disease with total thyroidectomy, tremor with unknown cause, and perimenopause from age 43. My blood results have been odd at times with sodium now below normal range by 3 points I think, plus total protein was low and one of the enzymes to help with protein production was low. This article helped put a few more things into perspective and gave me some more ideas to talk to my doctor about. I’m also waiting on a neurology review to rule out any underlying cause from that area. I’ve seen a Rheumatologist as well and nothing else was diagnosed. The issue I see is that my blood results don’t always reflect what is happening physically. For example, I had a goitre that was clearly obvious to the naked eye but bloods were always normal. When ultrasound was done, the gland was close to double normal size, covered in nodules and had a large cyst in the middle. It makes me wonder what else is not showing up on blood tests.
Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you for the great information, I think it will help with talking to my doctor further.
Kind regards,
Sam.

Is there a correlation of high vasopressin and dypsnea when standing/walking (not laying down)?

Is there a specific time of day and/or of the month to test vasopressin?
Specifically for menstruating females?

Thank you!

This is an excellent article. It states that AVP contains Arginine. Would taking Arginine increase Vasopressin?

Why am I just learning about this? Seriously? At age 52 I’ve never heard a doctor mention vasopressin. I’m having my cortisol levels checked so I guess I’ll be bringing this up to my doctor like I have so many other things in the past for a proper diagnosis or help.

I was recently diagnosed with diabetes insipidus. I hate the desmopresin. However i have low cortisol and chronic stress and inflammation. Does anyone have any reason to believe that one of these other mentioned herbs or supplements could help?

The reference next to forskolin on the “raise vasopressin” list linked to an article that suggested that forskolin actually lowers vasopressin. Should forskolin be on the “lowers” list instead?

Is Lithium right unter “How to Lower Vasopressin (AVP Inhibitors)”?
I think the study quoted says otherwise.

Hi…I take arginine amino acid before gym session as a supplement to reduce fatigue. Is this a good move?
