L-Tryptophan. It is the only natural product I know of that alters seratonin levels (like Prozac).

But first things first. Like Shroomism said, correct your diet first and also get some exercise several times a week. If you still have depression then try L-Tryptophan.

Good advice, Enter. One thing I'd like to point out, though, is that in point 2 you said to abstain from depressant drugs. "Depressant" does not mean that it causes or exacerbates depression. It means that it depresses (i.e. slows down) the Central Nervous System.

You have a lot of good advice in that post, though  :thumbup:

Exercise is soooo helpful!

Fuck.  I'll just have to come out and say SSRIs are the best thing since sliced bread. 

If you have a reaction to one, try another. 

I don't understand why people want to avoid this class of drugs--if they don't give side effects for you.  :shrug:

Shit, everyone on this site uses drugs. 

I'd think I'd try to hit up the ones that the pharmaceutical companies have invested hundreds of millions of dollars in for helping a given condition than try to cobble a treatment plan together with "getting outside and trying to chill more."

That shit doesn't work if you actually have a major chemical imbalance in your head.  SSRIs are not a perfect tool to help depression, of course, but, fuck, what do you put into your body that helps you cope that are a perfect tool for your purpose? 

Dunno.  Good luck, Odium.  You're a good guy in my book.  :cool:

Yeah I'm also on the East Coast, if you can make it you should try to come down to the Fall gathering in VA/WV

Dude, I have no idea why... A few years back there were no problems at all. All of a sudden one day I started getting these pains in my eye when i smoked and it got so fucking bad I had to stop, there's no way I can tolerate it and the high isn't the same either. it's fucked up. :frown:
Yeah, would be cool to check out the gathering. we'll see what happens.
