> The best natural remedy I know of for your symptoms is a combination of St Johnswort AND 5HTP. I tried that once and was truly amazed how good I felt. And no appetite. The 5HTP caused some sort of strange intolerable urine burning that caused me to quit. That was so rare and unusual I have yet to find anyone that's heard of it or could begin to explain it. Anyway, for you, 5HTP with or without St Johnswort sounds to me like a very good treatment to try. It would address every single concern you mentioned in your post.
>I thank you for your input. Are you at all familiar with Glaucoma? I ask this because of your response. It's something I'm not willing to tangle with. And just because the info may not be widespread, yet, I trust the info implicity because of the source I received it from. To me, St Johns is simply NOT an option. And as far as natural remedies, I'm not so convinced they are the option. I am concerned about the lack of knowledge we have over all the possible side effects because they aren't FDA tested.
Thanks again! I'll keep researching! :)
