in my experience xanax and volume are temparary and addicting fixes. I have suffered from depression and anxiety for 10 yrs. MY doctor has me on a seratonen enhancer CITALOPRAM AND MJ COMBINED THE CITALOPRAM CORRECTS THE HORMONAL IMBALANCE FOR DEPRESION AND THE MJ RELAXES ME. one or the other doesn't work but in combination i feel great. As far as diets my husband is diabetic and has congestive heart failure so diets in my household are very restricted.
