[|Human|] Hi I am a 67yo female and have struggled with depression on & off for many years avoiding prescription antidepress  but prefer a natural solution like SAMe. But since I had a stent put in last June my depression has worstened somewhat and now I have anxiety which is bad. I take CoPlavix and wondered if it would be ok to take Tryptophan as I have read how it helps with mood, sleep etc and feel it could help me, L Theanine helps but can I take  Tryptopham together with blood thinners? I also have short term memory loss. I also take L Carnitine Co Q10, Krill, Vitamins eat a good diet, weigh 54Kilo. My calcium tabs contain K1, but K2 is the ingred. that prevents calcium going into your arteries isnt it?Regards,Jan
[|AI|]  Hello Jan as you mentioned that your depression is worsening as you are struggling with your illness, so please do take care of your health and take medications regularly as prescribed by your doctor as far as depression is concerned you must take care of it now as with depression and anxiety your health will deteriorate only. You must see a psychiatrist for the same or keep yourself busy with something or the other this will help you out of your depression. There are much better medications which are cardiac safe and can be used safely in cardiac patients like you.  Using a SSRI for your depression may be one of the options but for that a psychiatric consultation is a must.
