I've used Prozac for the past 11 years but it may be wearing off after all this time. I've been researching natural remedies and so far L-Theanine works best for me. It's derived from green tea. You can find it in most health food stores. I take about 800 mg a day. Choose from a good brand; I use Solaray. Try it for a week and see how you feel. I've read that there are very few side-effects with it. I also take 2 grams of omega-3 daily. There was a study conducted where inmates at a prison were less aggressive after they received fish oil supplements. I use flaxseed instead of fish oil which doesn't give a fishy aftertaste and isn't contaminated with mercury. Other natural options for depression include 5-HTP (which I've tried but it didn't seem to have much of an effect) and SAM-e (which I can't use since I'm taking Prozac, an SSRI). There may be others; try talking to someone in a health food store. Good luck! :)<br><b>References : </b><br> I’ve battled clinical depression for much of my life.

I'm 24, and am on 2 anti-depressants for symptoms of borderline personality disorder and depression. I currently take Prozac (40mg) and Mirtazapine (45mg). I was on Prozac first, but it was still leaving me too low. Now I'm on both drugs I dont sink to the lows that I was and my mood is so much more stable Apparently Mirtazapine can help other anti-depressant work better, as well as working in their own right.<br><b>References : </b><br> As Im sure you know anti-depressants effect everyone differently but will answer your questions.
