I would assume that taking a combination of alternative treatments might be more effective for depression than a single treatment.
Has anyone tried this approach. Which treatments work well together. Could, say, omega 3, SJW, and SamE be combined in low doses ??

Hello Linkadge,
At the moment it's DLPA 250mg, deprenyl 1 or 2 mg, sometimes SAMe 400mg in the morning, also TMG 500mg. SJW made me burn in the sun. You can certainly combine them, yeah I take fish oil (1 mega EPA). Nothing of any interest to report, except more resilience (or less of the opposite). Dorothy Rowe has written 2 books I liked, one called Depression, and one called Fear. It's not good but I guess it's the human condition. People don't talk too much about fear.

Most people don't spend the entire day in fear. Well I guess I'm complaining, but any emotion can be deadly in excess.

> What do you think of the nicotine?
> DeclanHa! They've got me squirting nicotine up my nose (nicotrol NS), coffin nails for 30 years. I wonder about deprenyl/dlpa for quitting, welbutrin is useless for me AND I get seizures sometimes when I exert myself or have a coughing fit. My dogs freakout when I seize...
I sure do wish you guys would talk more on deprenyl cocktail, maybe there's not much to say? At this point if the dlpa mix doesn't work I'm back on the speed (doc's orders). My ADD has me spinning in circles, not to mention comorbid depression. And I really need to do the dishes, amphetamine, the cure for dirty, piledup dishes!

Hi there
I don't have anything else really, except that sleep may be the limiting factor with deprenyl+DLPA. If you sleep well, or if you have things to help, it may be possible to use higher doses than say 2mg/d deprenyl+250mg or so DLPA. My SO is currently taking 2.5mg +500mg DLPA. Its day 4. Deprenyl with rhodiola was fun, I kind of enjoyed being awake, except when I couldn't sleep. My sleep has been light for a decade or so. Like real seizures, eh? Souds bad, people seem to find Welbutrin pretty toxic.
