There is also a research paper saying same efficacy as Prozac.

I just started taking it yesterday. I am combining it with Lithium Orotate.

I definitely feel less terrible this AM. I am towards the end of rTMS which seems to help intermittently, so I'm not sure if it's the saffron or rTMS. I'm a little agitated this AM but not exhausted like I have been for the past week: definitely more energy. I am going to try saffron for the next month or so before I try another med.

Saffron apparently helps with serotonin.

Of course it's something expensive that apparently helps with depression...
Seems like a scam to me but if it's truly working for you then I'm glad. I hope you feel better.

Coincidentally, I'm currently taking saffron, but I don't notice anything. Prozac didn't help me either, it only harmed me.

@Nymph It has a history of use, and many medicines come from plants. https://www.fxmedicine.com.au/blog-post/traditional-uses-saffron

Nothing is really helping me that much though. Today I have saffron and St John's Wort (not recommended) and MJ and have managed to get out of bed. But I still really want to die.

@http-410 I'm sorry to hear that. I am also not finding anything that works. How long have you tried the saffron for? I am scared of medication, but I am so ill I have to try it again. Have you seen the tcds machines. I spend all my money on a desperate quest to get better, while just really wanting this torture over.

@LittleJem

I hope you find something that helps.

I've been taking it for about two weeks I guess. My doctor said it would take that long to notice something. Admittedly, I paused for a few days but started again. I haven't heard of tDCS yet, only TMS, which is unfortunately not covered by my insurance.

I think saffron is like meds, worth trying for 4-6 weeks. I'll post the link for tcds in a bit. It has some efficacy research

I think it's helping. I'm on day 7. Have also had rTMS recently so hard to know exactly

Are those the same guys who sell turmeric pills saying they cure arthritis?

Hey, I am still feeling better than before. Not perfect, but better. I had my last rTMS today, but I'm pretty sure the saffron is helping.

I know people peddle a lot of shit, and you'll see from my posts how much I've tried to try so many things.

I'll let you know if it keeps helping
