∙ 10y agoNot as good as SAMe...For depression, I slowly got of meds and at the same time began with SAMe (sam-e) three-4mg pills/day. depression is gone-better than the drugs.
Also began taking these all natural supplements---inositol and L-tryptophan for anxiety-very helpful and got me off clonazepam.
You should ask your doctor before trying herbal remedies, though - you might have a medical condition that would make things worse by trying herbs.
