Im not a lady but if you may have slight or even moderate depression SAM-E has proven to be very effective.

SAM-e is damn expensive. I've also loaded Inositol and had ok results. I find "mood" is usually related to something I'm going thru and if I just focus on hitting the gym, getting good sleep and not worrying about things, it passes. Sometimes its a phase I just have to deal with, but overall, by the time I try any of the above and give it time to work, whatever is bothering me is past and I don't need them anymore anyway.

Unfortunately sometimes my mood can to me to the point where sleep and focus are interrupted. The anxiety and stress is something that I don’t handle well. I give an outward appearance of being ok….but I can really mentally exhaust myself sometimes.
Now with contest prep I feel I just need something to help with a balance.
I'll look into that P-7...interesting as a Topical Cream!

Also, you may want to look into cognitive behavioral therapy to help re-wire faulty thought processes that fuel depressive or anxious thoughts.
I also recommend pharmaceutical grade fish oils for mood improvement. Forget the drug store junk.Last edited by musclemilf; 03-25-2010 at 02:27 PM. Reason: 90 mile an hour response

Do not use St. John's wort if you are on BC......It's written in the fine print on one of the herbs that can disrupt it's effect.......
If you are not on BC, St. John's Wort works great!!!!! I used to take it in my early 20s to calm my hyped ass down....lol.....it really works.....if you are tense or hyper, that stuff is amazing....

Thanks for all the replies. I saw some SAM-E at Trader Joe's I'll probally pick up a bottle.
Sex would be great for everytime I'm feeling down or in a bad mood...but when it happens at 2pm on a Wed while I'm at work....well...maybe I can keep my husband tied up in my car all day for emergencies!
