Depression and anxiety: - Quality multivitamin with the Bs at least in the 30s (mg)
- Clean fish oil supplement supplying at least 300mg DHA daily
- Ginkgo biloba, standardized to 24% flavone glycosides and 6% terpene lactones (120 to 180 mg/day in 2-3 doses)
- Vigorous exercise at least 3/week
- Off the damn caffeine
- Forcing myself to go to bed on time
I've used the passionflower with success for flying, but I don't use it otherwise. The above items are good for long-term therapy, whereas the passionflower seems more of a "localized" thing. You won't notice effects immediately. It would take weeks, if not a couple of months.
