I can't take any SSRIS either so I turned to 5htp, ashwaganda, vitamin d and a Super B complex and that has helped SO MUCH. It takes about 2 weeks but I feel so good. It's worth looking into

@Kristen I wouldn't recommend it without asking your doctor first because they both do the same things and I was informed that you can take either or but not both. But I would surely ask!

@Anonymous I take the 5htp with gaba which promotes natural relaxation and its 100mg. I've never had an issue with getting sick and I get a bad med stomach

@Anonymous Hmm.. Maybe I'll try that. I was put on a super high dose of 5htp and i had to leave therapy to go puke lol.

I agree. It would just be nice to have that extra nudge in the right direction. BUT, my issues are not chemical as much as mentality i think. So i agree with you.

My primary diagnosis is bipolar disorder so I can’t take SSRIs without becoming extremely manic and going into psychosis. A second hand treatment is drugs like risperidone. I’m on that in the morning and at night (along with klonopin and hydroxyzine) and it’s made a world of difference in my functioning. It’s classified as an atypical antipsychotic and can have a lot of side effects for some people

Alot of epilepsy medications help bipolar and ocd Def try one of those its been a great mood stabilizer for me . If not Lamictal, I'd say try Trileptal. Here is a great resource that describes many different types of anti depressants. There is so much more than just ssris. https://www.medicinenet.com/antidepressants/article.htm

I’m taking Clomipramine. It’s a TCA. Ssris didn’t work well with me either
