Celexa vs. amino acids

[watermom]

Hi everyone...

This is my first time posting on this forum. I have a question....I was prescribed Celexa (by a psychiatrist) for post partum depression/depression. I have not started it (my  baby is 7 months) and am thinking of trying amino acids/vitamin supplements. My question is....Have any of you tried this approach and has it worked?  My other question is....if I do go the Celexa way....are there bad withdrawls if you go off?  And is it good for anxiety.  He said it is, but I just read on here that somebody said it gave them the jitters...

thanks so much....

Thank you so much for such a thorough post. I really appreciate it.  I have struggeled on and off with depression/anxiety..but I am trying exercise/diet and suppliments.  I have tried prozac YEARS ago...and Paxil....paxil made me a zombie....so I am trying everything else before the celexa....the psychiatrist said....I don't think SamE will work for you (I asked) and I really should try celexa.......I feel like they really push AD.

anyway..thanks so much again
