Re: D -3 / depression meds

[Guest guest]

I don't know if it has the same side effects, but it does not work for everyone,

and it can make you feel worse. But you'd know pretty much right away, and the

effects are short-lived compared to meds.

I'd like to know if 5-http causes the same side effect risks as depression

meds.

5 htp helps me with depression and insomnia as I am low at serotonin.I take it

during the winter times as my depression and insomnia gets worse due to less

light. p5p also helps me to some extend.I don't think 5 htp will have same side

effects as anti depressants as it will only give you the nutrient you are

missing.

By the way d3 gives me hyperactivity and insomnia. Somehow I am not metabolizing

it properly. Sunlight does not give me the same problem. I wonder if the cause

might be low LDl I have as Mercola mentioned. I have long term CFS and many

other problems,too,so my case may not apply you but just wished to share.

Dear Amy,

I don't know if it would help you, but I'm finding that LDN (low dose

naltrexone) has been helping me. It seems to steady out my mood and

reduce that fidgety, picking-at-myself feeling. Might be worth looking

into?
