Our 24 y.o. son has been seriously depressed since his late teens. He has passionately researched many possibilities for his physical and mental symptoms, and tried out a number of nutritional supplements (including the Pffeifer Center).
>>>>>>I am going to Pfeiffer myself. So they didn't help him too much, huh?
(For the record, he is on 20 mg Lexapro and 10 mg Adderall & uses Ambien as needed for sleep).>>>>>>Just for future reference, if the Ambien ever loses its ability as a sleep aid for him, he could try LOW-DOSE Remeron (7.5 mg). It works great for terrible insomnia.
But he's has been continuing to "tweak" his nutritional supplements, and interestingly, like Larry, has found fish oil, vitamin B6 and digestive enzymes to be particularly helpful.
>>>>>>Fish oil seems to help me too and I'm also taking vitamin B-6. What specific digestive enzymes does he take?
Thanks!
