hi, sandy,:)
i started rhodiola for my depression 3 days ago, and i am doing better already! after really researching antidepressants lately, i find natural remedies to be the answer for me. (i may take klonopin for anxiety though, if l-theanine doesn't work.) they're cheap, they work just as well or better than most ADs, no side effects, no fear of sharp spikes in blood pressure, i don't feel "high," etc.
i also really think people with depression should make sure they don't have nutritional deficiencies, hormone levels that are off, thyroid disorder, or other problems.
i have found that the *key* with these supplements is to alternate them. for instance, i plan to take the rhodiola for a few weeks, and then take a week off. during my week off i will take either tmg or l-theanine instead. with l-theanine, however, i don't think you need to alternate, as i don't think it "poops out".
phew! :)
