Guest guest Posted February 18, 2007 Report Share Posted February 18, 2007 My name is jeremy and i'm 26 years-old. I have spent the better part of the last five years in treatment centers and hospitals. I have a dual-diagnosis with substance abuse and severe depression on my plate. I've been clean and sober for almost 2 years. Yet, my dangerously-potent depression did not begin to lift until the last few months. Like many of you, I have felt frustrated & hopeless after trying just about every drug on the market. There have been several combinations of drugs that seem to work, however, the improvements never feel good enough. When i started taking l-tyrosine and acytl l-carnitine with magnesium, i experienced the most noticable improvement in mood since i got sober. The amino acid cocktail is more helpful than any prescribed med i've tried. I still have bad days, however, my bad days are less frequent and usually less severe than before i started taking aminos. I was skeptical too, but they've worked better than the rest. (by the way, i continue to take effexor, seroquil, and a small dose of adderall xr along with the natural stuff) anyway, i look forward to hearing and learning from you guys. --jeremy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hello, I find that for me, daily doses of 1500mg of Omega 3 fish oil help with mood issues, so does B-6, Magnesium and for severe days Lithium Orotate (natural form of lithium) works well. There are also the amino acids GABA, Taurine and Theanine they help my hubby when he is feeling down. Nagla , " underscorejeremy " <underscorejeremy wrote: > > My name is jeremy and i'm 26 years-old.
