I can't take meds....have had so many bad side effects & bad reactions to meds that my pdoc in California ended up suggesting the Omega3 EPA 1200+mg/day.

I was on the seroquel right after going through the trauma so I could sleep without the nightmares because it completely knocked me out, but living alone, I have to function now. The Omega 3 EPA works great for me with depression & actually helps with leveling the anxiety. Only problem...not covered by prescription coverage, but it actually costs less than my payment for the prescription coverage which I dropped several years ago when patience assistance picked up my pain medication.

When I moved away from California 3 years ago, I didn't have a therapist either...tried to manage on my own until just a year ago, I finally found a wonderful psychologist.....better than any I ever had in California......so things are looking up.

I think that depending on your DX, that therapy can be all that is needed.
