It's a witches brew, honestly. But instead of a pinch of toad's toe, or whatever, it might be a pinch of green tea polyphenols, yada yada.
Pharmacologically, my basic treatment is based on low-dose selegiline, sublingual (to avoid first-pass metabolism). Intuitively, it seems to have a similar effect to supps like NADH or TMG. It's doing something in that realm, possibly stabilizing mitochondrial membranes.
I have a number of health concerns, so strictly speaking, depression is not the biggest issue for me. It is fatigue. My mood is generally stable with fish oil, and I am reactive to stimuli, so I do not consider myself to be depressed. However, the fatigue/insomnia/cognitive problems collectively are somewhat depressing.
