Excellent, excellent news!
Unfortunately I suffer primarily from severe anxiety and am still looking for the "excellent" level antural supp to help with that. Many excellent natural supps for depression - especially the really effective ones - tend to make my anxiety actually worse.
There's Valeran and Theanine, both of which I tried and were "okay", and then Kava which I haven't tried yet.
I was put on Neurontin for some pretty strong neuropathic pains and found that it was not only pretty effective in that regard (removed about 85 - 90% of pain symptoms) but also quite effective in addressing anxiety. Since I was already on low dose Xanax XR, the Neurontin helped quite a bit with addressing a lot of the remaining "background" anxiety.
Anyway, excellent news concerning your situation!
