I AM NEW TO THIS SITE, BUT AS OF LAST NIGHT I HAVE GAINED SOME VERY INTERESTING AND VALUABLE INFORMATION. I DECIDED TO BECOME A MEMBER AND HOPEFULLY CONTRIBUTE AS WELL AS LEARN.
MY STORY --- FOR YEARS I HAVE STRUGGLED WITH DEPRESSON, IN FACT, AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER. I WAS A TEENAGER RIDDILED WITH A LACK OF SELF CONFIDENCE, SHY AND INWARDLY A LONER. ON THE OUTSIDE NO ONE WOULD EVER SUSPECT MY INNER TURMOIL. I MANAGED AT RISE ABOVE IT BY LAUGHING AND PRETENDING THAT EVERYTHING WAS OK. INSIDE I ACHED. AS I GREW OLDER, I CONTINUED TO PUT ON THE HAPPY FACE, BUT INSIDE I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG. I SUSPECTED IS WAS SOMETHING PHYSICAL. UPON OBSERVING IMMEDIATE AND EXTENDED FAMILY MEMBERS I NOTICED A DISTINCT SIMILARITY. I SENSED THE SAME FEELINGS I HAD BUT IN THOSE DAYS NO ONE EVER TALKED ABOUT DEPRESSION. AS LIFE GOES, AND THE INEVITABLE CRISIS HAPPENS. I SUFFERED ONE TRADGY AFTER ANOTHER WHICH I WON'T CLUTTER THIS MESSAGE WITH, BUT BELIVE ME, EACH ONE WAS WRENCHING. I FINALLY BROKE AND SOUGHT OUT PROFESSIONAL HELP. I WAS PUT ON PROZAC, AND SO BEGAN A SAGA OF TRYING TO FIND A DRUG THAT HELPED. TO DATE I HAVE TRIED NUMEROUS PRECRIPTION DUGES, NONE OF WHICH HELPED. SOME ACTUALYY MADE ME FEEL WORSE.
I BEGAN RESEARCHING NATURAL ANTI-DEPRESSANTS AND READ A BOOK CALLED "DEPRESSION FREE NATURALLY" WHICH WAS FACINATING. I BEGAN TRYING THE METHODS AND FOUND THAT THEY HELPED, SLOWLY, BUT EVENTUALLY I FELT BETTER THAN I HAD IN A LONG TIME. THIS BOOK ACTUALLY GIVES YOU LABS THAT WILL TEST YOU FOR CERTAIN PROBLEMS THAT MAY BE CAUSING YOUR PROBLEM. FORTUNATELY, MY PHYSICIAN IS AN INTEGRATED DOCTOR AND MY BLOOD WAS TESTED AT ONE OF THE RECOMMENDED LABS AND I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A CONDITION CALLLED PYROLURIA. I WAS SHORT OF B6 AND ZINC. I ALSO TESTED FOR CANDIDA , WHICH IS AN OVERGROWTH OF YEAST. I WAS ALSO LOW ON SOME AMINIO ACIDS. I BEGAN TO SUPPLEMENT WITH THE RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS AND BEGAN TO FEEL LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN BEING.
I WAS DONG WELL UNTIL I BEGAN TO EXPERIENCE A REALLY BAD BACK ACHE. I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH A HERNIATED DISC AND HAD TO TAKE HEAVY NARCOTICS FOR THE PAIN. I WAS AFRAID TO COMBINE ALL THE NATURAL MEDICINES WITH ALL THE PRESCRIBED MEDICATIONS SO I DISCONTINUED THE NATURAL PRODUCTS. AFTER GETTING OFF THE NARCOTICS, THE DEPRESSION WAS BACK AND WITH A VENEGANCE. I BEGAN TO TAKE MY NATURAL PRODUCTS AND THE DEPRESSION LIFTED BUT THE BACKACHE HEATED UP.
MY QUESTION? HAS ANYONE EVERY EXPERIENCED BACKACHE WHEN USING B VITAMINS, TYROSINE, AN AMINO ACID COMPLEX, GLUTAMINE AND ZINC?
IN CLOSING, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE ABOVE MENTIONED BOOK. IT IS THE MOST INFORMATIVE BOOK ON NATURAL METHODS OF RELEIVING DEPRESSION I HAVE EVER READ AND I HAVE READ MANY. THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A CLINIC THAT TREATS DEPRESSION AND ADDICTIONS.
I LOOK FORWARD TO ANY HELP YOU MAY OFFER.
GOOD BLESS,
JANET

I think the herniated disk is probably, hopefully, something unrelated to the other things. I found physical therapy (not chiropractic) helped with back problems I had a few years ago. Have you tried that? Glad you've found ways to help with the depression. It's frustrating dealing with something that does not seem to have a one pill fits all solution.
