In reply to Recommendations for a good multiple supplement?, posted by zefdie on July 26, 2004, at 16:07:56
> I'm currently on Effexor and can't stand the apathy and lack of motivation, so am suffering through the withdrawal symptoms with an eye toward trying some natural supplements. I would love to try Rhodiola but am wary of the estrogenic activity, as there is a history of breast cancer in my family. I have anergic depression and can't focus or pay attention to my work to save my life.

> I've been looking around at various supplements and am interested in trying a multiple -- something with a B complex and amino acids as well as ginko or other herbs. I've noticed that a number of good companies, like Solgar and Source Naturals, make "brain enhancer" and "mood boost" formulas. Does anyone here have experience with any of these? Recommendations? I need something energizing. I'm somewhat wary of SJW because of the apathy I feel on SSRIs -- and I can't afford SAM-E.

> Thanks!I'm also taking Provigil, but who knows how long that will last: I'm on samples and it's unlikely that the insurance company will budge on their refusal to cover me. I have excessive, excessive, EXCESSIVE daytime sleepiness, lethargy, and apathy. I eat fish often and get flax in my system almost every day, but I'm not currently supplementing with fish oil. I was on Strattera until a few weeks ago -- quit becasuse of exhausting and a general wariness of the pharmaceutical convention happening in my veins.
