Many -get guidance: Some supplements have been proven just as effective as ssri's, esp. 5-htp, same ; st. John's wort. Many help anxiety-b vits, magnesium, holy basil, l-theanine, inositol etc. But one can get withdrawals from stopping ssri's ; there are possible side effects ; interactions with these supps so i advise consulting a holistic md- see http://bit.Ly/19pettq also do exercise, meditation ; get counseling.
