Hello Angelkitty,

I joined just over 2 weeks ago and I've found everyone here to be really friendly and helpful, I'm sure you'll find the same.

Which medication have you tired in the past and what side effects did you experience?

:welcome:

Hi well if you're determined to not use ADs, then I would suggest looking into Omega 3 supplements, plenty of aerobic exercise and making sure your vitamin intake is good. Also look into CBT?

But if you can.. I would suggest giving ADs a shot. Tell your doctor about any fears you have about side effects and they may be able to suggest things to offset them.

I'm not a doctor by the way!

I hope you find a way that works :)
