This question could apply to many, many people on this board.
I take Zoloft to increase my serotonin level.
Are there other ways---natural remedies---that could JUST AS EFFECTIVELY raise serotonin levels, thereby replacing the Zoloft?
I know there are other ways to raise the level..BUT can someone raise the level AS MUCH naturally as they can with a drug?
I've read about SAM-e and other natural amino acids, vitamins, minerals, etc., but am wondering if anyone here has been able to successfully, LONG TERM pull this off? I figured that I'd ask you Larry, since you have a scientific background..was wondering if you've ever been able to put together a comination of products that replaced the anti-dep. that you're on (if you are on one)? It would seem that someone would be able to combine enough supplements to replace an anti-dep. However, I don't seem to read about anyone here completely replacing their meds with supplements. Any response (by anybody) would be appreciated!
