I'd never heard of em. I looked them up and it's well worth a try. I'd much rather be on natural stuff

i was on effexor for 8 years, wow, this stuff made me feel really good, high actually. when i went off...the hospital staff told me i ws high andthen diagnosed me as bipolar, so i don't know if it actually was a good anti-depressant.

now i'm on effexor and topirimate and lithium, i stopped taking lilthium on my own and stopped taking serequel on my own too.

i used to jog excessively, which you prob. know boosts seretonin as much as meds, but i stopped that too.

good luck.

how bout switching docs bob?

p.s. cute dog, my mother has an antique door stop that looks like him

I never heard of either thing you mention, Bob - second one sounds like a dog food - but they may be good for you

Thanks guys. Was kinda hoping to get more response but thats ok. Elena does mom want to sell that doorstop? :)

I can make some suggestions,but not entirely sure on all the facts.
Better to research them yourself and see what you think:

Valerian root - aids sleep and mild anxiety.
Folic acid - helps depression.
Sea Kelp(rich in iodine) - More for thyroid,but apparently helps depression too.

For restless legs I was prescribed Quinine. It's been a while since I used them and I had a lot of meds and illnesses at the time so I can't remember if they actually worked..

Perhaps one of these could be some help to you..
All the best.

I've found bupropion (Wellbutrin) helpful. It is a dopamine & norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor, so it should increase the amount of dopamine in your system.
