My breakthrough -- check it out ladies  

post #1 of 2
Thread Starter 
Hi everyone. I've been depressed for two years, beginning in my second trimester. I've been able to remain drug free primarily because I have a fabulous support system here. Without it, I may have ended up institutionalized. It has been very bad at times.

I've been working with a doctor to determine if there is a biochemical cause of the depression -- some sort of deficiency in vitamins/minerals or toxic levels of metals. I had a test of my amino acid levels and started on a custom supplement and am a new person. Words cannot describe the change in me. It is dramatic, extremely dramatic. Here's the thread from Health and Healing:

YES YES
The aminos really helped.
I had a similar experience with tryptophan. It cleared my head.

Doing the labwork for CBC, AA, heavy metals, fats , hormones, is a good idea for starters...too. Never know what will turn up to help.

Thank you for the resources you gave they are awesome.
