Just come off anti depressants. Natural alternative suggestions

I refused anti-depressants when offered them. Instead I went for a morning walk every day- I noticed the sky and the trees and the birds.
I worked on my sleep routine too and ate sensibly, cut out the alcohol.
I kept a mood journal and gave myself little messages to keep me motivated.
I spoke to friends and went out for coffee etc.
I tried to rely much more on my own strength rather than relying on others for answers.
This was six months ago.
I hope you can find whatever it is you need for yourself too.

5HTP is good for lifting the mood but wouldn’t advise taking it without medical approval.

Retread I'm expecting that this may be the route DH takes Theexwife Thank you both. Daily dog walks get me out. Support gratefully received.

Retread has offered some good advice, being able to cope with life’s pressures in a natural way rather than medication is preferable. If you cannot cope then go back to the doctor rather than self medicate.

Hi Lily well done for the reduction strategy that worked. My OH has also recently been diagnosed with prostate cancer and it is treatable. He has started treatment and so far it is stress free 😊 - for both of us. He has had hormone treatment and now will commence radiotherapy.

I truly think the best thing you can do is get outside, go for a walk, even a 10 minute walk and you'll feel better any time. Look at the gardens, take deep breaths, listen out for birdsong. So relaxing and therapeutic. (I'm assuming you are mobile). Good luck
