spiritwise333	Sam-e is prescribed in Germany as an anti-depressant (I believe) but it is available in North America without a prescription. You can also check out 5HTP which is a natural precursor to Serotonin (the feel good brain chemical). If you buy the natural form it is extracted from the seeds of the African Griffonia flower. When we become depressed our serotonin levels become depleted. 5HTP replenishes serotonin in the brain fairly quickly. Some people notice the effect almost instantly. But it could take up to 2 weeks before you notice a difference. Take it at night at least1 hour before bedtime and you should have a very restful sleep. It can be bought in most pharmacies and health food stores now. Good Luck! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Six Shooter	There is no homeopathic antidepressant that has been proven in a clinical setting. Substances like St. John's Wort may only present a placebo effect, and shouldn't be relied upon to cure anything. Mood stabilizers are out of my expertise -- I do remember learning that most of the ones available are only effective at subduing manic episodes, not for treating depression. Again, though, I would never assume that a "natural" substance that is untested would reliably work as a mood stabilizer. Since now we know that most of the SSRIs like Prozac and Zoloft were drug company-peddled bulls**t, I would suggest you see a counselor, who could advise you on better ways to control your mood. Other great ways to treat depression through behavior modification are exercise, a healthy diet, and socialization. Good luck to you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

rajiv b	Check this site: http://www.elixa.com/estim/CES.htm And check the "ces ultra". This cranial electrotherapy stimulation is a safe way of rebuilding neurotransmitters and stablizing moods, depression & anxiety. Otherwise, the amino acids L-Tryptophan (5HTP) builds up serotonin, L-Tyrosine Dopamine, and L-Glutamine can be taken.
