See if she'll take 2 TBSP of cod liver oil every day first and see how she feels in a month. For me it was instant, but I'd give it a few weeks. It's also much, much healthier than a drug.
And if she has anxiety with the depression, taking cal/mag every day helps. The cod liver oil will also help with anxiety.
She...is both clinically depressed and bipolar... :/ Which is why she's even willing to turn to Zoloft, especially since without health insurance it's going to cost her a LOT each month. This is like her last resort. She's even tried a bunch of amino acids and vitamins that are supposed to help, but even those aren't working for her.
She's on a plan similar to mine: Saw palmetto, red clover, fenugreek and progesterone cream. She's also taking Gro-bust, too. Although as cheap as I'm discovering PM is, she might just end up switching to that...ESPECIALLY if she has to shell out a bunch of money each month for antidepressants...
