Re: 5 HTP vs. Sam-E

Hi again,

I just reread your first post and found that you have been off the AD since July.

I forgot to mention that I've also learned that the central nervous system can take from 18 months to 2 years are more to rebalance itself. That's how the drug co's keep you hooked...because the doctors tell you that your symptoms are from your original diagnoses. I've actually talked to 3 doctors now that verify this 2 year scenerio. So your symptoms are likely do to withdrawal. Since you were on the drugs only one year, maybe this 2 year window will not affect you but keep it in mind in case you continue to experience problems. And please read the dr tracy thread if you have not done so already.

but check this out also.
