Hi, Jules and Scott. I recieved my advice from several sources. I spoke to a naturopath and was referred to 5-HTP. This actually worked for quite a while, but, it eventually interfered with the medications that I was taking at the time, including remeron. Now that I've gotten away from the Remeron, I've slowly been improving. In addition, since the Remeron is gone, I continued taking 5-HTP, and found that not only has it stopped interfering with my illness, but, it's actually helping to improve things. I know that you can find 5-HTP in most health stores, but, again, it's very important that you speak to an expert prior to going on something like that. Also, a doctor (believe it or not) recommended to me a product called "spirulina" which comes in a powder or capsule form, that gives you between 5 - 8 servings of vegetables and fruits a day. In addition to that, I try to eat as healthy as possible, which means avoiding refined sugars, packaged products (MSG) and a number of other things. The big one for me was getting rid of Caffeine, which increased my panic attacks and depression immensely. So, it was pretty much a combination of things that over the years has improved my health. If you'd like me to expand on anything that I've discussed here, I'd be more than happy to. Hopefully anything I've said helps you out.
Jim
