HEY everyone!
Haven't been on in a while...hope you all are well, moving forward and finding at LEAST one beautiful thing a day!
I just visited the Southampton Hospital Wellness center (and paid an arm and a leg for their advice)....thought you might want my list from that visit of supplements (all scientifically viable), that work to increase neurostimulation- seratonin, blah blah...you can take these with your regular anti-depressants. A few are also essential for keeping our bones and protein production healthy as well. And one to prevent yeast infections which happen during stress and depression. As we age, we lose ALL of this stuff! I have included the best places to purchase- most reputable and least expensive...so many supplement companies are frauds, so u must be careful.
I am telling you- this is working for me! I am also on 120 mgs of cymbalta (anti-depressant) and an ADD medication as well. My PTSD is gone, and I used to suffer from crippling depression and anxiety.
In addition to these, I also recommend melatonin for a great night's sleep!
It wouldn't hurt to get a full workup which includes body mass index, regular bloods and hormonal levels- my testosterone was VERY low, contributing to malaise, low sex drive, and general ummm, wimpiness....no chin hairs noticed yet, haha! But tweezers and wax are a girl's best friend!

All living things contain SAM-e (S-adenosylmethionine). The body makes SAM-e from the amino acid methionine. However, you may not be able to obtain sufficient methionine levels simply by ingesting food. In addition, because of age or other factors, levels of SAM-e can fluctuate or decline. Supplementation with SAM-e is the easiest way to increase intake. SAM-e is involved in over 35 biochemical reactions involving enzymatic transmethylation.** The methylation process is the mechanism by which the body rids itself of potentially damaging compounds, synthesizes neurotransmitters, makes components of cartilage, regulates enzyme activity within the cell and maintains the flexibility of cell membranes.** Science has been looking into this remarkable supplement and time after time clinical studies have drawn the same conclusions, SAM-e:
• Promotes healthy joint function and comfort**
• Boosts mood and emotional well-being**
