do you take psych pills?

Don't drink, don't take any anti-depressants or other prescription meds to alter my moods. Never have taken anti-depressants, but did drink in increasingly larger amounts until 3 years ago when I quit, cold turkey.

I was suicidally depressed as a teen, but somehow I managed to get through it in one piece.

Nine months after my daughter (now 19m) was born, I came down with post-partum depression. It was horrible in that I couldn't be bothered to do anything that I love. I couldn't get through a single page of a good book, didn't touch my jewelry work, couldn't get excited about or interested in anything whatsoever. I wasn't suicidal (or God forbid, homicidal), just blah...almost like I was invisible and irrelevant. I began taking some heavy duty multi-vitamins and L-5-hydroxy Trytophan (all natural product that enhances serotonin production). Within a couple of weeks, I felt back to normal (whatever that is :p ).
