Why wear a ribbon?

Hi!I am suffering from anxiety and some depression. Does anyone know of a natural alternative to treat these problems. Don't wanna take drugs for long term use. Afraid of bad effect on body and addiction. Any suggestions?

if anyone can send me more info at NightlyNinja2006@wikichat.com I'd really appreciate.

SAMe is a great antidepressant. It starts working much faster, too. I noticed an improvement three days after I started taking it. I could not continue it because I experienced an allergic reaction. I am allergic to most SSRIs too, though, so I wasn't surprised.

It's not cheap, though. You'll want to shop around. Drugstore.com or Vitacost.com is a place to start, or anywhere you purchase supplements.

L-tyrosine can help with depression. I tried it and didn't notice anything, but we're all different. Folate and 5-HTP have also been known to help, but again, I didn't notice anything. I had a psychiatrist tell me that St. John's Wort works, but it has since been found ineffective for depression.

I would try SAMe.
