I will be the first one to admit that I probably started out a bit hard and fast with the use of suppliments. I guess it was the hope there was an "it" to my problems and gave me a little way to be more proactive about this process of getting "well".
What I found did not live up to the promise I had envisioned. It all sounded so GOOD. So, perhaps that's the real issue for me. I think I did expect miracles... at first.
I am continuing with the few things I like and feel are helpful. I do know some things, indeed, make me feel worse... emotionally and physically.
I have an anxiety disorder with depresssion not being the main part of the mix, although, is there at times... usually when the anxiety is ill controlled.
As said before, I'm not so quick to add anymore.
I do think we should give the same caution and attention to supplimenting as we should have with starting new meds. Just because its supplimenting doesn't mean it can't be harmful or make things worse. And there's ALOT of marketing out there, just as there are with meds... it's really easy to buy into that when you are trying to feel better and you're feeling just awful.
Good Luck in your search... I hope you find some very helpful things.
