Here's an idea. Do some research and then try the herb Rhodiola Rosea.
I've taken my meds--Prozac, Zyprexa, Adrafinil--for a long time. They do a real good job. But the Rhodiola Rosea added in really makes a big difference very quickly.
I've tried all the other stuff like SJW, SAMe, Gingko, Ginseng, etc. None of them did me any good, except SAMe a little bit. But Rhodiola Rosea blows them all in the weeds.
Rhodiola, for me, provides anti-anxiety pro-social behavior, good sleep, and a bright mood in the morning, as well as good energy, mood, and antianxiety throughout the day. It adds a real nice touch. If I wasn't already on meds (I don't want to go through withdrawals or a risky relapse) I would definitely want to try Rhodiola all by itself. Since I am on meds, I am taking two tabs a day instead of the normal six a day.
A good brand should have 4% Rosavin extract. Most don't. There is only one good one I know of, shipped from Europe in about a week for $17. Do a search on Rhodiola Rosea and keep your eyes open for 4% Rosavin. That's the one. :-)
