> I find fo-ti kind of activating. It certainly brightens up my vision (as do other dopaminergics). It seems very calming at first, but I have a hard time staying asleep on it. Kind of like if I drink coffee before bed.
Actually, the herbalist I talked to said it was probably the dl-phelylalinine you said you took with it that had the most effect, he'd never heard of fo-ti being taken for antidepressent effects at all.
But he said if you did want to take it for that, get the powdered herb itself and capsule it yourself, and that should give you a pretty consistent quality.> Anyhow, I don't even know if I can muster up the courage to bug my doctor again. Somtimes I just wish things would work properly in this world without such a hastle.
Well, but that's the depression talking.
It's a nasty catch 22, the depression steals your motivation to look for a better solution to the depression, y'know?
Keep trying!!! There's bound to be a combo out there somewhere! :)Luck,
