Lots of drugs claim to improve mood in the same way alcohol does for me, but I haven’t come across any that do without putting me to sleep before bedtime or taking away my ability to drive. Maybe I’m just not getting fresh, potent enough stuff. I’ve tried gotu kola, ashwaganda, kava kava, bacopa monnieri (all tablets ordered online), not St. John’s Wort yet; I’ve tried effexor XR, lexapro, zoloft, celexia, though all they do is give me stomach aches, panic attacks or insomnia. The best remedy so far is alcohol — or maybe something like kava if I’d buy potent roots instead of capsules. Is there anything else? I know some clarity and normalcy for me is close, because a few few drinks brings it about …

What plants do you know about? I’ve half perused erowid, etc, but I don’t want to waste too much money I don’t have experimenting with capsules or otherwise (legal) hallucinagens. I read about blood tests that sctually test for what neurotransmitters may be off balance, but they’re expensive, about 300 dollars. I’ve tried meditation, read about others things, but I could use a catalyst, a boost, before I can try to afford some of them, or try them…

If you know something I don’t … please, give a word.
Pot doesn’t help, unless I pay like 30 gram. Legal engineered pot might help … but that’s not an option obviously.

I would recommend Mood Elevator in combination with Chinese Stress Relief both made by Natures Sunshine. This two have been very effective with many people. Please feel free to email me if you have any other questions. Also, you can find these products at http://www.mynsp.com/Kate
