Topic Title: My experience--New Chapter Super Critical

My depression is of the anxiety/obsessive thinking variety. I have not had much luck with St. John's, but the New Chapter Super Critical does work for me, kind of. My experience with it is:
* After about twenty minutes, it relieves the chronic tension I carry around in my torso/stomach/back
* Yet, at the same time, it is slightly activating, creating a different kind of anxiety
* Also, and paradoxically, it is fatiguing and leaves me feeling kind of tired
These are side effects I am familiar with from taking SSRIs: All the SSRIs I have taken have that paradoxical anxiety-relieving/ anxiety-creating effect. I would be curious to know if anyone has found a "natural" treatment that is free of these side effects. Curious to hear people's experiences with: theonine, rhodiola, inositol, or any other supplements that reduced anxiety without creating these side effects.
Thanks,
Chris

I am an RN with a hubby who has struggled with depression sx similar to yours. He was off all meds (though he was last on the New Chapter for about 9 months, which worked fairly well for him). He is trying to quit smoking, and the Wellbutrin had WAY too many side effects, so he is restarting the New Chapter again till he is more settled in his non-smoker status! He really had no side effects while he was on it, and had no luck with other brands. He is always tired since he has some sleep apnea--that was improved till he quit smoking, but the 25# he put on brought back that. We will see how thing go, but he did well on it before, and that brand has a fairly good reputation as being of consistent quality, whether it's the St. John's or their other products.
