> so the fellow in the health food store told me L-tryptophan was the best natural antidepressant
at 2-5grams, it DEFINATELY has AD properties. It is very good at a high dose, esp combined with Lithium. I tried it for 2 weeks (all i could afford) -- It definatelky made me happy, but on withdrawal it made my anxiety worse for 1-3 days...
....more powerful than st. john's wartdon't know about this, but I might try it. They say its contraindicated with Nardil...but to be honest, I have taken at least 5 meds contraindicated with Nardil and had NO probs. I also ignore the diet and have had NO probs, except one hypertensive episode a couple years back...
, more studies done on it, and supposedly it works within the first day....I am sceptical that any med, natural or not, works in the first day to produce an AD response. Only one exception: Tramadol.
