Thanks for the responses. I am 'working on' consuming ALL of my supplements and, seriously, it may take a year or more. Many of them have passed their 'expire' date but I'm taking them anyway. I don't believe they 'go bad' but they might not be as potent.
I'm working my way back to using food/diet as my foundational road to healing. Mostly I've done low carb so I'm very familiar with it and most of the time have no problem following it well.
I already have 5-htp so upping the doses is sure worth a try. I'd like to eventually get off my low dose xanax and be able to sleep and relax and feel good for a change! I really believe if I can heal my gut I can heal the Depression and many others issues as well. Time will tell!
