Go the doc route. I mentioned the supps I had been taking (5-HTP and Melatonin) and he said thosre are relatively "dirty" drugs. They have lots of different effect on the mind and body, only one of which is the desired one. The new antidepressants target exactly one aspect of brain chemistry to change.
ANother thing, it's not just walk in, state symptoms, take drug, get cured. It's an ongoing process to tailor the regimen to your needs and stages of life, and a good psych will always be trying to find ways to fine-tune your mood and make sure you are where you need to be at. Sme people need to try a handful of drugs before they get the right combo.
