My doctor gave me a list of natural alternatives that you can take to help with anxiety/depression which I thought I'd share with you. (The first 3 you can't take with my medication, so I guess you need to check with your doctor first)

*St Johns Wort - as affective as SSRI's
*S adenosylmethionine (SAMe) - a naturally occurring amino acid 400-600mg
*5-hydroxy tryptophan - the immediate precursor of serotonin

*Phenylalanine - amino acid that elevates mood
*Tyrosine -
*Omega 3 fish oil
*selenium
*Tresos B (vitamin B)
*inositol
*exercise
*valarian - improves insomnia and calms
*Damiana - helps if anti depressants are having an affect on sex

I bought the real herb from an herb store online, it wasn't a supplement.

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
