Naturopaths(ND's): Can they treat depression?

Postby Roger1234 » Sat Jun 07, 2014 12:06 pm

Does anyone have experience dealing with an ND when it relates to depression?
I'm asking because I've made an appointment with one in July.
I'd like it if I could get off of some meds. Currently I'm on 300mg of Effexor which works OK; it keeps me from having suicidal thoughts although I'm still depressed. Elavil worked wonders for me back in 1976/1977. But then it stopped working. I've tried many different AD's throughout the years and nothing any longer worked. Then I went on to effexor, and presto! Not nearly as good as the Elavil was, but much better than nothing.
I've also tried 5HTP which worked somewhat, although I took very large amounts. It stopped working after a few weeks. I've tried St. John's whatever wort I think it's called. Didn't do anything. So I'm hoping my ND will be able to help.
