Could you please tell me which natural supplements (including vitamins/minerals) would be best to take for GAD with comorbid depression/adhedonia. My anxiety has gone through the roof after my first Depo Provera shot (like nothing I've ever experienced before and it's making me crazy). I am currently taking Celexa 30 mg and thinking of going to 40 mg. I tried L-Tyrosine, but think I over did it and became extremely agitated (don't want to go there again). I am planning on added Gaba-Plus (which is a blend of Gaba and niacinimide) as well as B-Complex (100 mg two or 3 times a day)and magnesium (250 mg three times a day). I want to try Rhodolia as well, but have heard mixed reviews about it and have some concern about combining it with an AD (although my doctor did not have a problem with it and I know others have done this). Anything you can tell me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much.

> > How long did it take you to see results from the selegiline? I just started it about 10 days ago and haven't noticed anything. I'm taking 5 mg. once a day with DLPA but will bump it up next week - I was just waiting for the side effects (buzzy headache, slight nausea) to fade.
