My T suggested this week that I start taking supplements and drinking more water. He said dehydration increases depression symptoms.
He also suggested that I take All One by Nutratech, 1,000 mg of C, Calcium, Magnesium and at night, Valarian Root as a sleep aid. He said that this should have an immediate effect on my mood. If not I am to talk with my Dr Tuesday morning at my annual in regards to going back on a very small, 5 mg, dose of celexa.
I have taken these for 2 days and do feel better...placebo effect? That being said......as far as Valarian Root as a sleep aid, it seems to be having the opposite effect for me. Not unusual, my body is hypersensitive to anything I put in it and I frequently have the opposite reaction to what is intended. Maybe I just need to lower the amount of Valarian Root or maybe it is just coincidence.
Just curious about individual experience with these as opposed to prescription meds. I would love to use natural means. James, I know that you are very into nutrition, drinking lots of water and exercise. What is your experience with these supplements?
