In reply to Something to counter SSRI tiredness, posted by starflower on December 31, 2004, at 8:46:49
Starflower,
I can only provide some anecdotal information based on my experience. In terms of basic nutrients, I would make sure you are taking a good dose of B-complex with folic acid & C to help with energy levels. You may also want to add in acetyl-l-tyrosine (I like Source Naturals) on an empty stomach to provide support for dopamine. I find that fish oil really helps in this area too. Then sometimes I rely on NADH and/or Rhodiola if I am really dragging and want something fairly quick acting. SSRI's overall tend to be stimulating for me so I have to be careful when augmenting them with other activating type supplements. And it goes without saying, different people get different effects from pharmaceuticals and over the counter supplements.
