I hope all the experts here can weigh in and help me.  I have had an incredibly negative and successive series of events befall me in the past 6 months (physical and also mental, life altering) and frankly, its having a very wasting effect on me physically and mentally.  I don't have bad thoughts, I just don't seem to care about anything.  I'm tired but I can't sleep, and I'm developing little ticks and having small episodes of anxiety attacks.

 

Please give me some recommendations as far as a stack/supplements I can take.   I have always focused on body and mind anti-aging, but I've never had depression or anxiety so this is all new to me.

 

I'd like to thank anyone up front for any time they put into posting in this thread.

If it is the events that have befallen you, then you need to learn to be resilient in the face of these obstacles and manage your daily life with this end goal in mind.  I would not turn to a direct anti-depressant, if these life events are merely temporary in nature.  I would focus on diet, exercise, meditation.  You want a diet that induces a significant amount of serotonin release.  Individual ticks, blephorism are typically a sign of a vitamin deficiency such as not having B-vitamins.  If you live on cheap carbs (rice)+protein, and no green leafy vegetables, you will be vitamin deficient.  If you cannot sleep, then take 300mcg of melatonin.  Learn good sleep hygiene.

 

Be wary of taking a large stack of many different pills.  You may be in a lot of pain, but a handful of pills can complicate matters.  One approach like bacopa might be sufficient.

 

EDIT:  Fixed.  Thanks APBT.  :laugh:

He means 300 mcg, not mg.

 Go talk to a therapist....seriously.     The best relief from depression and anxiety has been found to be a combination of drugs (or supplements in your case) AND therapy.    One or the other was

not as effective as both.
