Hi, I have tried it IN CONJUNCTION with pharmaceutical meds and in my humble opinion, Orthomolecular Medicine/Megavitamin therapy CAN help - it helped me regain PHYSICAL ENERGY and STAMINA that I'd lost from a prolonged period of many stressors and rapid weight loss (the stress also led to my latest bout with depression/anxiety).
That said, I would suggest that if you are going to go this route that you do so under the care and guidance of a good doctor, who specializzes in Orthomolecular medicine or a Naturopath or even a Homeopathic physician - someone who knows their vitamins and DOSES.
As for it working "alone" (without augmentation by pharmaceutical meds), that I cannot speak to. There's an orthomolecular pyschiatrist where I live ... he's not my doc ... and he claims to have a "100% cure" rate for depression without meds ... to me, this sounds too good to be true. Can any doctor really claim to have a "perfect" cure rate? I don't think so. Also, this doc is VERY expensive both for office visits and the gamut of specialized blood tests he orders.
Just my 2 cents.
