Today is probably my rock bottom for Wellington as yet. One of those silly chemically imbalanced days that make you wonder why the hell it was that you ever woke up this morning

The problem with serotonin is that you can't orally supplement it, really - yeah, you get small amounts from metabolism of tryptophan, but if you've got a real chemical problem it ain't gonna cut the biscuit. Though there's not a lot of harm in a small serve of high cocoa dark chocolate... The only supplement I can think of that gives an SSRI-like effect is St John's Wort - which I'm actually quite a fan of - but it interacts so many other drugs it's ridiculous, so if you're on any other meds or herbal preps you'll need to have a good chat with the pharmacist and make sure it's not going to cause you any issues.
I vote you go to subway and get a sub with extra AND bonus jalapenos - natural endorphin buzzy goodness + some vitamins (provided you actually have some of the salad)

I seriously recommend it.
For me any antidepressant has the effect of sending me very quickly into a manic state so I can't really comment on their usefulness.
