Answer 1

lipvixen gave a really good answer. I believe the supplements she recommended are amino acids and have been shown to be very helpful for a lot of people. A good doctor can actually do a blood test and from that determine if your amino acids are low, so you can know if you'd benefit from that kind of therapy. I have dealt with feelings of anxiety and depression myself, and I went to a doctor who did a physical and a complete panel of blood tests on me. My amino acids were fine, but I was low in a number of vitamins including vitamins B12 and Calcium, both of which can cause depression or anxiety if you're deficient in them. I'm currently on megavitamin therapy and I believe its helping me. You can find a good doctor who will look for the underlying cause of your feelings at http://www.alternativementalhealth.com which is sponsored by an organization named Safe Harbor.

Answer 2

have not heard of it, but if you have been on meds for over 2 months and are still having bad depression most days you may need a different med, effexor-xr was a life saver for me and worked when others did not also buspar is for social anxiety and is non addictive and worked great...just 2 of many choice find a med that helps and change it if it does not....always take as prescribed -melissa

Answer 3

Try 5HTP from Nature's Bounty. It helped me deal with mild depression, anxiety, insomnia and stress eating. I would take one at night then again the next morning. I get scared with those that need prescription.

If you don't want to get sleepy during the day take L-tyrosine in the morning or DMAE. They enhance mood and prevent stress eating and mood swings. Side effect though is that you might eat less and lose weight.

Same here, when you find out you let me know!
