It's by no means a miracle cure and there's a fine line between an antidepressant effect and overstimulation, but I'm functioning on some level approximating normality now after months in a very dark place.
I'm also taking 200mg of 5htp per day to balance things out, as I understand taking dopaminergic or serotonergic supplements in isolation can negatively affect levels of the other neurotransmitter.
