Anyone here use holy basil and or 5-htp for depression?

[Guest guest]

Ever sence I was relieved of [10 yrs.of temperal lobe] Epilpesy 15 years ago by

taking Magnisum for about 1 year.

I have been very interested in Natural alternatives for any problem. now I am

43 and have noticable Depression mostly do to hormones, dealing with troubled

teen children and strugling with the lack of income to keep up with the

increasing cost of gas and grocery.

 

I have started using 5-htp, holy basil and a sam-e blend. so far with good

results [taking them for 3 +weeks] wondering if anyone else has any experience

with these for depression, or having any relief form depression form any other

source. my mother is trying to get me to a Dr. to get Drugs for this but I am

against that, im not in the mood to argue with anyone at this point.

 

thanks for the information

Have you looked into Tryptophan ? I find this more effective then 5-htp. I

too used to have epilepsy -in fact, even became an EEG technician in hopes of

finding a way to 'cure' it and stop taking the drugs.I too found that I was

magnesium deficient but it took me 4 years to finally go off of all drugs and

still not have seizures. Kava Kava is a herb and is also very good - the only

thing with this herb is make sure you buy it from a reputable company as in the

past it was incorrectly made from the incorrect part of the plant and that

caused serious problems. I took Kava Kava for over 4 years and had no problems

with it at all.
