In reply to Taking Alternative Anti-Depressants with Effexor?, posted by MuffinHead on February 16, 2005, at 16:40:41
> Hi, I'm new here, and I had a few questions about Depression and Alternative medicine. I'm currently taking 300 mgs of Effexor a day, but it costs $200 a month, and I want to explore natural alternatives that don't cost so much. Has anyone here taken Effexor and a natural supplement together? I want to wean myself off of Effexor, but I think I'll need to take them together for awhile until that happens. Are there any consequences to taking both together? And what should I look at for replacing my Effexor? Thanks for any and all help!
Hi,
I've taken Effexor with l-tyrosine and DLPA in order to get some more motivation. I didn't have any success with it though. I would like to try adding DLPA in higher dosages though as well as trying l-glutamine. I also tried adding DMAE but I may have needed to go higher in dosage on that as well because I didn't see much in the way of results. Same goes for NADH.Others on this board have had success adding l-tyrosine, DLPA, DMA and/or NADH to their antidepressant. It's worth a try.
Wish I could help you more.
