I find it really helpful. I no longer take antidepressants. I had been on Prozac for about 8 years at dosages up to 120 mg a day. I've also tried about 20 other medications alone or in combination. SSRIs, SNRIs, tricyclics, stimulants, antipsychotics. This works the best IMO. And I thought yeah right, a nutritional supplement...baloney. I've always been a better living through chemistry kind of guy. Supplements were airy-fairy snake oil. A clever scheme to lighten my wallet. But I'll be damned if it doesn't work for me.

sugests that seritonin and dopamine precursers need to be taken together to maintain balance. gives a recipe vit C, B6, cysteine... I forget the rest of the recipe but it's a very convincing read
