Gin,
What works for me every time I do it is to go OFF sugar (and possibly sodium). It could be NOT what you're taking for depression but what you're NOT taking (sugar)!
Like most of us I don't have the time to watch my diet as carefully as I'd like. But when I remember, and go OFF sugar (products) within 2-3 days, I feel clear-headed, with no inclination towards feeling down. It almost feels like a re-birth. An added bonus....I find that all aches & pains are gone. I bounce out of bed, and can jump up and down in my desk chair.
To be fair, this might only work for me, but if it's that bad for you, I would give it a try.

I have had digestive trouble for as long as I can remember and cannot remember many times I was actually happy as a kid. I have also fought with depression most of my life. I tried the medical route but have yet to find a perscription that will do more then keep me from totally going over the edge. I have tried herbs, sometimes they help for things and sometimes they don't. I also do some yoga but that hasn't seemed to help much in the past. Also I was raised with a very strong christian upbringing, I didn't find that helped me at all with these problems and I didn't see any of the healing happening that they always prayed for. I am starting to learn about healing with crystals but only a month in on reading about it. I am very open to trying anything at this point or any tips since I only know what I have read so far. I live in a small town with access to only the internet for resources and learning. We don't have very much alternative healing available and I don't have access to teaching in this area either. So I am really glad to be here and able to learn more, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
