>Gabbi:
I believe you live in Canada, as I do to, and there are some good, *free* programs to help you out. Yes, the vitamins and suppliments can help a bit, but there are other alternatives, mainly interpersonal therapy (my fav) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (this has to be done right..not by some fly-by-night counsellor.)
But, most of all, you CAN take meds, many of them, in different combos as needed. Benzos, IMHO, MUST be taken everytime you use an antidepressant. To me, along with all the add-ons, the benzos are what keep everything 'glued'.
So..if you live in Ontario, there is some of the, if not *the* best, psych care centres in the world in Toronto, Hamilton, and Ottawa.
This page lists all of the excellent 'Mood Disorders Clinics' in Ontario:

http://www.mooddisorders.on.ca/Links.htmI hope that helps for starts. You need SERIOUS help dear..and that doesn't just mean massive medication doses..but overall *excellent* medical and psychiatric attention using many resources.
Best wishes,
