As for myself, I am done with pharmaceutical antidepressants, at least for a long time (I hope), in favour of trying nutritional and herbal supplements from a reputable source, with well-research protocols to follow. They cannot hurt me as much as the pharmaceuticals I have tried. In addition, some of the nutritional supplements help with pain and inlammation - and one reason I was taking the Cymbalata was for the pain.
Do I recommend dumping the antidepressants even if it is in favour of nutritional suplplements?
NO!!!! NO!!! NO!!!!I am just saying about myself - I have been at this pharmaceutical game a long time, and it has failed ME - not everyone. So for ME, it is time to give something else a shot. Heck - I gave so many different pharmaceuticals a shot, I think I'd be stupid not to try supplements once I wait a few weeks to completely have this latest out of my system. Too bad insurance won't pay for that. It IS tax-deductible in the U.S.A. however, with a prescription or letter from the doctor.
