Natural supplements for depression?

[srb1026]

Has anyone taken any supplements to help their depression? I've read that vitamin d and other things like that MAY help. What has worked for you guys?

I take Viibryd and it does help me but that is medication and that works for me, won’t work for everyone, fish oil is also always great

I'll give that a try! Thank you

A good question! I am still seeking the answer!

Perhaps it may vary for each person. Since I'm vitamin D deficient, I felt that vitamin D was instrumental in dealing with my depressive symptoms. Another huge benefit I got was when I visited an experienced acupuncturist for my depression. Though maybe unpopular, I have to say I was impressed with the outcome and continue to make regular visits.

I take regular medication but i have done research on vitamins and take those too. I have low d and b12 so i take those. I take magnesium oxide. I’m about to restart omega 3. Those are the ones I’ve researched. I will say that I’ve taken some b vitamins that noticeably made my mood worse. I think it was b6 and b2. So, I wouldn’t add a bunch of vitamins all at once just in case you have a side effect to one.
