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.

Severe Depression: I understand your desire for alternative medications for severe depression. Tryptophan, St John’s Wort and S-Adenosylmethionine help with mild to moderate depression; not severe depression. Visit Crater Lake National Park in your State and Feel Beauty and Wonder of the Lake. Other Alternative Treatments • Intensive Therapy • Breathing Relaxation • Visual Imagery • Meditation • Yoga • Tai Chi
