Did you notice anything with the St. John's wort.
Some people, like me, responded to a very low dose of antidepressants, ie 10 mg of Celexa, augmented with many things.1 thing you need to take is folic acid.
If you do have alcohol problems, then
it is likely you will be low in this vitamin.
infact, I never noticed any relief until
I added folic acid (1mg) to my current
antidepressant regime. This vitamin has
been shown to turn antidepressant nonresponders
into responders.Secondly, you may want to try things like omega 3
fatty acids. I found great help with these.Personally, I think the only relief is found with the combination of 3 things.
Correct medication,
Proper nutrition, and
Exercise.But seriously speaking, I found only marginal (at best) relief with antiepressants untill I added folic acid (1mg), b12 50-100mg's and fish oil (omega 3's)
If anything, try the folic acid, it's extremely cheap, and very safe.
Good LuckLinkadge
