Supplement/Drug Synergies

Several nutrients synergize with Antidepressant drugs (SSRI) to help correct the underlying nutritional imbalances that lead to poor mood

The rationale for supplementing the diet with the selected nutrient synergist while taking SSRI medications is:

• Adverse effects from SSRI medications are dose-and time-dependent. This means that higher doses of SSRI medications taken for longer periods of time are more likely to result in unwanted side effects. Lower doses of these medications used for shorter periods of time are associated with a lower likelihood of unwanted side effects. By giving the body appropriate nutritional support to repair and rebuild neurotransmitters and their receptors and to correct underlying nutritional imbalances that promote poor mood states, the dose of SSRI medications can sometimes be slowly reduced and often discontinued.
• SSRI medications work best when our nutritional status is optimized. Nutritional deficiencies of certain vitamins, minerals, and accessory nutrients have been found in research studies to predict poor response to this type of antidepressant medications.
