Successful accounts of curing depression without medication... - Page 4

I have suffered throughout my life from moderate to severe depression. Suicidal thoughts and everything. During the course of my twenties, it was getting steadily worse -- to the point of some very crippling episodes every month or so. I did about 4 months of Welbutrin toward the tail end of last year, and it worked some magic on me. Have stopped taking the pills and seem more or less fine now. I am not an incredibly happy person or anything, but I don't sink nearly as low as I did pre-Welbutrin. I am on a more even keel in general. Also helps that I have eliminated cocaine from my diet.

I will expound more tomorrow.
I'm interested to know how you've been doing with this regimen.

Still doing it and works out quite fine. Anxiety, depressive symptoms and ideation have minimized incredibly. If anything I just feel occasional symptom(s) of anxiety. In addition, I should note that my blood pressure has begun to normalize-- it usually read quite high. I should mention that this dosage of supplements is based on Dr Abram Hoffer's work. I have no doubt that some might consider his work as quackery, but I had nothing to lose whatsoever. I should also mention that I've coupled this with TLC (Therapeutic lifestyle change)-- for those who don't know its basically what we already know-- keeping busy, exercise, socialization, etc. Please feel free to ask any questions.


Correction to note above: The supplements Abram Hoffer's suggested are the one's I listed minus SJW.
