Looking for a natural supplement for depression and energy?

Have been going thru a lot of changes. Family issues, relationship, financial. Had brain surgery about six weeks ago. I take Keppra for seizures and I'm not sure if this contributes to my sadness and anxiety,but I'm so tired of feeling this way. I have no energy, gaining weight. I used to be different. I'm 47 years old. Don't know how to feel better. I don't want to take anymore prescription drugs.

How to Lose Weight in the Face in a Week

Recommended Answer:

You seem to have a fatigue problem. Perhaps the energy vitamin B12 can help or a vitamin B complex. Coenzyme Q10 can also help to boost your energy level as in http://au.search.yahoo.com/search?p=%22coenzyme+q10+for+energy%22&fr=ush-ans The super food Spirulina is another good energy booster. One of the most common fatigue causes is anxiety, which is known to effect 40 million U.S. adults each year. Anxiety is a state of fear of real or imagined danger, which is manifested as increased heart rate, trembling, panic, weakness, extreme fatigue and stomach or intestinal discomfort. Anxiety disorders make up the largest mental illness diagnosis in the U.S. Besides anxiety there are many other common fatigue causes such as insufficient sleep, too much sleep, under eating, thyroid problems or other illnesses (such as anemia, mononucleosis, CFS, glandular fever and many others), side effects from medication, dehydration, overexertion, an unhealthy diet and other causes as discussed in http://au.search.yahoo.com/search?p=%22common+fatigue+causes%22&fr=ush-ans

• From someone who's the same age and had brain surgery 10 yrs ago....I can give you "Hindsight" advice....1) The brain surgery itself is causing 90% of your problems....2) adjusting to the new you is contributing to the rest. 3) BE kind to you family no matter what...they may abandon you (like mine did) if you don't. 4) It takes a very long time (2 or more years) for a decent new you adjustment to take place....so , easy does it and please.....just be kind to all people, be humble, smile, and just be nice until you recover fully.....if not, you may find yourself all alone....(Been there) which is a horrible place to be. Really, easy does it, if you need help with bills etc. Ask your spouse kindly, if they don't, ask the doctor where to turn to kindly...etc etc...as for those BS meds...been through them all...lamictal was the only one I tolerated..
