I'd suggest you try the following combination of supplements. Collectively, it should be very effective at treating all types of depressive, anxious, and panic states:
Thiamine -- 500mg three times daily; increase the dose as necessary
Niacinamide -- 500-1,000mg three times daily, or one to two 1,500mg extended release tablet daily
P-5-P (Pyridoxal-5-Phosphate) -- 50mg three times daily
Sublingual Cyanocobalamin -- 500mcg daily
Choline -- 1,000mg three times daily
Inositol -- 1,000mg three times daily
Vitamin C -- 1,000mg three times daily
Vitamin E -- 2,000 I.U. daily
Calcium lactate -- 500-1,000mg three times daily
Magnesium glycinate -- 1,000mg daily
L-Tryptophan -- 500-1,500mg three times daily
Picamilon -- 50-150mg three times daily
Fish Oil (360mg DHA/240mg EPA per gram)-- 3 grams daily
A complete amino acid formulation
A whole-food multivitamin/multimineral supplement
Sublingual B-complex liquid
Ashwagandha -- 300mg three times daily
Kava Kava extract (at least 70% kavalactones) -- 1ml, as needed
California Poppy extract -- 1-2ml, as needed
I know it sounds like a lot, but a) it'll still probably cost less than medication does, b) practically no side effects, and c) it's sure to provide at least *some* benefit. Any questions about any of these, feel free to ask.
You *could* start off with a lesser number of suppplements, then gradually introduce the others. If you choose to go this route, I'd suggest starting with the thiamine, niacinamide, calcium, magnesium, picamilon, multivitamin/mineral, B-complex, ashwagandha, and either kava kava or California poppy--whichever you find works better for you.
Each and every one of these, except for the multivitamin which is there just to keep things rounded off, has a very calming and/or adaptogenic effect on the nervous system.
