Anxiety and Depression
Hello.. I'm on prodep 20mg in the morning and petril 0.5mg in the night for anxiety and depression.. my dietician had put on a lot of supplements including tyrosine, Alcar, Creatine, Omega 3 fish oil, magnesium, Alpha lapoic acid, DIM, Acetyl, vitamin D, vitamin K2 and Vitamin B6. Is it safe to take all these supplements along with my antidepressants especially Tyrosine supplement? Plz help!

Honestly, none of the supplements have any concrete proof of efficacy in anxiety and depression. There have been reports about benefits of omega 3 and vitamin d supplements in depression but again, the research and guidelines are mixed.
Next Steps
you should consult a psychiatrist or a general practitioner to know in detail about what supplements are safe for you as high doses can also be harmful for the body. if you really want to continue supplements, you can continue omega 3 and vit d supplements but make sure you do it under a doctor's supervision. good luck!

1. Expression kills depression.
Talk to your loved ones, share as much as you can, and if you don't have anyone talk to yourself, and if you can't even do that, talk to any God in whom you have faith. Writing regularly also helps in expressing.
2. Be busy be happy.
Depression needs time to survive, make yourself busy enough not even to spare any second, depression would cease to exist.
Use internet and entertainment to pass any extra time. (Avoid social media though)
3. 5 am to 7 am cure.
Reserve hundred minutes each morning and spend them systematically, 20 minutes for meditation, 30 minutes broad walking, 20 minutes exercise, 30 minutes breathing exercises (pranayama), nothing can beat this if you adopt to it.
4. Medical treatment sometimes does magic on depression.
Excellent medicines with minimal side effects are available for depression and anxiety.
All you need is to be bold enough to visit a neurologist, or a psychiatrist, if you can't get support from family, book an appointment and go alone.
5. Clear the environment around you.
Stay in cleanliness, eliminate negative people from your life, wear neatly ironed clothes and accessories, don't watch any negative shows, news, and movies.

Thanks for your question. You can avoid tyrosine containing supplements. The major issue doesn’t come with Ssri but with Mao inhibitors. For details consult on Practo or WhatsApp
