I want to reccomend the natural supplement 5-HTP (Griffonia simplicifolia) I have had sever depression since I was about 13 years old. Praxil, Prozac, and Zoloft did work for me, but they all had side effects. Also eventually each anti-depressant stoped working after I reached the highest dosage.

My Natuopathic doctor put me on 2 cap's 3 times a day ( 50mg a cap) and after about two weeks of taking them I've been feeling wonderful! I feel even better then I did with anti-depressants and I have NO side effects! I have a sex drive, I have energy, I don't have back pain anymore, I feel good when I wake up, I keep the house clean, I go for long walk, I enjoy crafts again, and seeing my friends..I can breastfeed my son knowing that he's not getting drugs in his system.

5-HTP is a little expensive ($25 for a bottle of 90 caps), and may not work for everyone but it's worth a try for sure....
