@jwayne Yes of course lifestyle and diet changes come first. Finding interesting creative hobbies, stimulating life, staying nourished, getting sunlight/grounding etc. But if one must resort to substances these could be beneficial.

@Insomniac I know somebody on twitter who had it. Im not sure his source though I could ask

The 5 substances I had the most success with treating depression are:
• Thyroid
• Progest-E
• Antimicrobials like camphor and oregano oil
• Caffeinated black tea or coffee right after a meal
• Häagen-Dazs or any ice cream made with egg yolks for extra cholesterolI have stood on a mountain of no’s for one yes. ~ B. Smith

How do you recommend supplementing Cypro
I have administered it to my GF with seemingly no effect except it making her drowsy/ groggy the next day. we used georgi's and did 2-4 drops (1-2mg) every two or three nights but only did it two or three times as I saw no noticeable effects, thoughts? -
@Cearrson Yea i wouldnt use it every day. Every 2-3 days seems good. Have you tried a higher dose with georgi's?
-
@Serotoninskeptic Good list. Taurine, glycine and creatine are also worth mentioning
-
@onliest Yes also some good picks. I might make a second list
-
@Serotoninskeptic have you tried allo-p?
-
@onliest Not personally but ive heard good testimonies
