I hear ya Linkadge. I hate all these meds. All of them. I have found better and faster benefits with natural supplements or herbs. I've been on every psychiatric drug on the planet (yeah, even the overseas stuff) except Nardil and Parnate. Even did ECT. The stage was set for longterm healing after removing silver fillings (chronic 24/7 low level mercury vapor exposure that slowly but surely wreaks major and seriously underrecognized and underdiagnosed havoc in every corner of your body and brain). And then natural stuff.
The problem with natural stuff is the same as with meds though. That is, trial and error. I mean, tests can give you a good idea of where to concentrate. Neuro urine tests, adrenal cortisol tests, gluten test, food intolerance test, intestinal stool analysis, hair mineral/toxin test, complete thyroid panel, fatty acid profile, and stuff like that. A good $2000 for all those probably.
But even after you know the basic direction to go, the trial and error game begins. I think I have enough bottles of supplements here to open a store. Most were not the answer. A few have been pretty good. Way better than any of the drugs. In the longrun, much cheaper too. And when they work, it is so much faster. Some natural stuff can have side effects, but I have not had any that even came remotely close to the horrendous stuff that drugs did.
