> I have added both selenium and the B complex to my daily routine and I am already feeling better. Placebo effect maybe, but I hope not.
B-vitamins can have an immediate effect. Selenium would probably take longer (weeks).
>Anyway I will try St Johns Wort if I start feeling down again.
I found it to be very tolerable in my drug sensitive body. It is a valid antidepressant option, despite the biased research done under the auspices of the AMA, which suggests that it has no benefit.
>I did not add the zinc, but may try that if I can find the right dosage to add to what I already get in my multi. Is the zinc as important for mood support?
No, it's not as important. If you're already getting 15 mg in your multi, you're doing OK. I'm probably a little skewed by my own zinc requirement. I need a lot, and I may be projecting a little bit on that one mineral.
> I want to thank you for all your input. You seem like a very caring person!
My gut said to reach out to you. I'm glad you felt the caring. It's real.
