Re: Inflammation and depression

I have a history of GI problems, and I've noticed that when my GI problems (and inflammation) are at their worst, my depression is at its worst. Some things that have helped to reduce my inflammation, and depression, are low dose naltrexone (LDN) and enteric-coated peppermint gels. I recently started taking the supplement d-limonene, which is supposed to have anti-inflammatory properties, and which binds to the adenosine A2A receptor. So far it's having some antidepressant and anti-anxiety effects on me. I've seen studies that adding aspirin or ibuprofen to an antidepressant can increase its efficacy. NOSH-aspirin looks like it will be a super anti-inflammatory. I've only read about it being researched for cancer, but I'd think it would help depression too. Clinical trials with it probably won't start until next year, so it'll be another ten years before it's available. There are other anti-inflammatory drugs in the pipeline, but I don't know when they're expected to reach the market.
