L Methylfolate!!! A friend of mine just suggested it after he has had success with it. I've been taking it for 3 days, combining it with Serofin SJW, and I think it's making a difference. I use Solar brand and right now I'm taking 3.2 mg. I may up the dose in the short run, I may not. In the long run I will eventually lower the dose after my brain heals some and I get back to normal function. Deplin, the prescription l methylfolate, is given to people on antidepressants to improve their efficacy. L methylfolate improves the function of monoamines-serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine.
Are you taking fish oil?
I wouldn't do 5htp, I'm just not a very big fan of it.
DLPA, ginko biloba, and rhodiola are all worth a shot. Take them each by themselves so you know what is doing what.
You may want to consider at some point switching to a good SJW brand like New Chapter Serofin, Kira, or Perika. I've been on SSRIs my whole life and so far Serofin feels just as powerful and effective as any of them were, especially with some l methylfolate combined. My friend is taking 5.6 mg of methylfolate I think, so you can go pretty high if necessary. I believe Deplin is 7 or 8 mg of methylfolate.
Good luck!
