Your doctor is the: Best person to advise you on medication. Please don't take any alt. Meds w/out discussing it w/him/her because it changes the overall dose. Consider cognitive behavioral therapy and lifestyle and eating changes. Feeling good is a book by david burns that may also be helpful. Peace and good health.
