Depression has no age limits-is it chemical or genetic? I cannot take serotonin meds-any other thoughts out there-had lots of therapy and cannot seem to beat this anxiety-at a loss-

I believe it's generic but anyone can develop depression/anxiety. I can't take any meds either. I've tried them all with bad side effects and am currently weaning off celexa which has caused me to have suicidal thoughts. Once I'm off I will be taking 5 HTP a natural supplement. Also started seeing a therapist. I think that it something you should consider. We need to beat this thing!

Hi BP- thanks for the advice-who prescribed 5HTP for you? I am worried because I have been on the benzo clonopin for a lot of years, I take 2 (.5) mg daily just takes the edge off my anxiety. This is the worst feeling-then I have trouble shopping alone-used to be my favorite thing ever!!! See a Psych and Therapist and will start back to TMS-best to you-keep writing!

When I wean off celexa I asked my doctor for something holistic and he suggested 5 HTP. I am nauseous every day from celexa and take phenergan. Yes it's rough going

I hope we both feel better soon.
