Depression improvement w/amino acids, but...

I'm learning that depression can be eased/treated, before healing the root cause of your depression (such as chronic fatigue syndrome, etc). I suffered for years, thinking that there was nothing I could do but wait until my body healed completely. But, my general health was very slow to improve because of the depression. It made it difficult to stay on the diet and be active. I frequently cried, panic attacks and was just overall negative. Personality problems were also difficult to manage. I felt stuck in a catch-22.

I realized that if I had to treat the depression and anxiety. After reading parts of "Depression Free for Life" and "Healing Depression and Bipolar Disorders Without Drugs," I've learned so much! I've already experienced this first hand. Since taking the supplements SAM-e, amino acid complex, GABA, L-Thealalaine, and 5-HTP, I have noticed a SIGNIFICANT improvement in my mood.

-My focus has improved: I was able to pick up a book, easily comprehend and enjoy reading it. It's been over 2 years since I have been able to sit down and read for 2 hours.
-I enjoy life more, I see a point in getting up in the morning: I get pleasure out of small things again.
-More energy: I can take walks without feeling exhausted and needing to lay down afterward.
-Mental Clarity
-More confident
-More talkative, cheerful, and social
-Less pain: headaches are less common.

I just started noticing negative side effects (almost 2 weeks into the Sam-e, 1 week into GABA, L-Thealaline, and max amino caps, and 2 days into 5-HTP): I believe that the SAM-e has been increasing my anger/agitation, and anxiety. I feel colder, less compassionate/less connected to others and I'm having more trouble sleeping. I'm not sure why this is happening, but I'm going to read as much as I can to find out. The symptoms were at their worse yesterday, and yesterday I also started taking the serotonin boosting amino acid 5-HTP. It might be that I added 5-HTP in combination with the SAM-e... it might be a problem with my adrenal glands, I just don't know... but I will find out! I think many people are prone to hypomania symptoms when given any type of stimulant, but there should be a reason and a way to reverse it.

I've also been doing green smoothies for the breakfast and lunch, then low-fat rice/lentil/bean type dishes for dinner, slowly working my way back to a nearly all raw diet has become much easier the past few days, with these improvements!
