> If you don't mind my asking, what was your diagnosis, and how severe were your symptoms? Did you ever experiment with aminos, St. John's Wort, other supplements? Thanks!


Hi JaneJane,

I become depressed do to not knowing how to deal with certain situations. If someone had given me that guidance, I feel I could have avoided psych meds.

I would say I had moderate depression that was greatly worsened by Prozac which then became even worse due to doubling the dose and then being CTd off of it. But eventually, I did stabalize on various antidepressants.

Funny you mention SJW because when I became very frustrated with the side effects of SSRIS, I decided to try it. It worked for about 3 years before I think all my psych meds started pooping out. I didn't realize what was going on at the time.

I tried Travacor for sleep but it did nothing. That is the only thing I have tried as far as taking aminos by themselves. They may be in my current multivitamin but I am not sure.

I have also tried whey protein but it didn't do any anything for me. I have also tried phosphatidylserine which helped. But the problem is my body seems to get used to it pretty quickly and it becomes less effective.

I wish I could find an alternative health practitioner I trusted. But unfortunately, I haven't been able to do so I am kind of on my own as far as experimenting.

Have you tried supplements and if so, what have you found to be useful?
