I'd be interested in hearing what the collective babble-mind thinks of this:

I got TMS about a year ago and the pdoc who did it put me on this supplement called NeuroReplete. Which is basically 5-HTP, Tyrosine, and some vitamin and mineral cofactors. I find it really helpful. I no longer take antidepressants. I had been on Prozac for about 8 years at dosages up to 120 mg a day. I've also tried about 20 other medications alone or in combination. SSRIs, SNRIs, tricyclics, stimulants, antipsychotics. This works the best IMO. And I thought yeah right, a nutritional supplement...baloney. I've always been a better living through chemistry kind of guy. Supplements were airy-fairy snake oil. A clever scheme to lighten my wallet. But I'll be damned if it doesn't work for me.
