Any alternative anti depressants?

[timeofyourlife]

I don't really want to take medication but I also need something to make life more manageable. I tried several anti depressants a few years ago. Didn't help, dose was changed several times. I got terrible sweats and felt very agitated - which may have been the anxiety but I think was a side affect when dose was high. So I am very hesitant, but I also feel l like I need to do something. From memory I tried ecitalopram, citalopram, sertraline.

There's a probiotic which my brother has found really helpful. It comes from Australia but they send it super quickly. He thought it was helping a little bit, then he ran out and realised it had actually been helping him a lot. He's back on them now and they're making a big difference. They have a published clinical trial, which is interesting.
