I believe the op's original question and intent was " has anyone tried any of these ? "

It was not " herbs cure bipolar and I think no one need meds!"

We've had tons of threads on alternative treatment, but none that have gathered such hostile, defensive ( when not needed ) responses. I also seem to recall reading plenty of studies on whether or not antideppresants had a plecbo effect.

The OP was simply asking if anyone tried these, she didn't attack anyone here, this is supposed to a " support " forum. So maybe we should het back to supporting.
