I would say my depression is mild to moderate. Mood swings, irratible, and sometimes I just like to be alone.
SSRI's take all those to the extreme. I get a paradoxial effect with them. I was in a very bad state while on Elavil and for the 2 weeks after I stopped taking it while it was still in my system. I then popped a few 5HTP's when I felt my worst and felt MUCH better only a few hours later. Waited a few days before I tried more, Elavil still in my system and still feeling bad, popped a few more and felt great.
I almost feel 100% normal taking 5HTP alone now, but my sleep function still will not trigger. I am hoping the added supplements balancing out my system will put that back to normal hopefully. I was always predisposed to depression, but also think past Exstacy use plays a large role in triggering it.
Nasty drug, I get sick to my stomach thinking about how stupid I was to try it. It's funny because the Neuororeplete program has an extra step for people who's depression is possibly caused by illicit drug use.
I think I may try to contact the doctor tomorrow and hopefully get on the program in the next month or so. I will definitely let everyone know how it goes. Let me know if you decide to go through with it and what happens. Take care
