Congratulations! I am currently taking Celexa, with no significant improvement. I have, however, reinstated supplements into my diet (which is a poor diet at best). I am taking a multi; B-Complex (100 mg, twice a day); Co-enzyme Q-10 with flaxseed oil (60 mg, once a day), magnesium (250 mg, twice a day); Vitamin C (1000 mg, three times a day); fish oil (1000 mg, twice a day); Siberian ginseng; GABA Plus (which has GABA, niacinimide and inistol) and MACA. I am hoping that this combination will help me. I am also considering adding a small amount of L-Tyrosine and L-Glutamine and perhaps a small amount of 5-HTP.
By the way, what is tribulus?
Hope the combination continues to work for you. It sure is nice when we find something that works.
Take good care.

> I've struggled with depression and anxiety for most of the last 13 years. I've tried many medications during that time with mostly bad results.: PROZAC: rash PAXIL: drugged ZOLOFT: drugged/attempted suicide LEXAPRO: nothing/yawning WELLBUTRIN: panic attacks SERZONE: nothing/lightheaded BUSPAR: weird drugged-bad NARDIL: worked, but real bad side effects - too many to list! VALIUM: drugged/addiction.... a few others too... I now take a combination of supplements that is working better than anything I've ever tried, and without side effects! Every day, I take: 600mg 5HTP / Vitamin B complex / Magnesium / Tribulus / DHEA
> I've taken each of these on their own to see what they do alone... The most important are the 5HTP,VITAMIN B, and MAGNESIUM... life savers! Depression: GONE Anxiety: almost nonexistent - nervousness tends to feel more like excitement/exhilaration. Even my memory has improved. The tribulus and DHEA seem to help my confidence level, energy and assertiveness (which was very sorry in the past) Hopefully this combo won't poop out - It's been 6 months on now... Occasionally, I feel kinda spacey, but thats probably the ~high dose of 5HTP... HOPE THIS HELPS SOME OF YOU>>>> GOOD LUCK!!
