Answers:
The diazepam would be robbing you of your precious water soluble B complex and vitamin C !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. all of which are essential for healthy neural, immune and digestive functioning!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. For memory loss try eating more foods rich in Vitamin B1 (thiamine) ie ~ brewer's yeast, whole grain breads and cereals, (if you can tolerate wheat), organic brown rice, meat (pork or liver), organic nuts, legumes such as peas, beans and lentils and potatoes!.

also take a multi B complex supplement including all the B's ie ~ B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12 as they work best as a group!.

The need for B1 (and the B complex) increases when we are stressed, during illnes and after surgery and when you are taking antiobiotics or antidepressants, diuretics or laxatives, on eostrogen supplementation or the pill, taking otc cold and flu meds, eating too much protein, drinking too much alcohol or eating too much tinned food!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. B1 has beneficial effects on the nervous system and mental attitude and will also aid in digestion and keep nervous system, muscles and heart functioning normally!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. The B complex of vitamins will help bolster your system so as you can better deal with the everyday little dramas life presents for us !.

The leaves from the plant that produces passionfruit, passionflower herb, when made into a tea are exceptionally useful as an antidepressant and is also used to treat nervousness and anxiety, insomnia and nightmares, to alleviate mood swings and as a gentle sedative and relaxant!.

The passionflower organic loose leaf variety of the herb encourages the uptake of tryptophan, which is an amino acid that assists deep sleep, as well as maintaining levels of serotonin, which is a hormone that is crucial in regulating mood swings and depression!.

Check out this link for a complete list of herbs and their cautions ~ with passionflower it is wise to consult a nutritionally oriented physician or naturopath or herbalist if you are pregnant or breast feeding and not to use on infants or young children!.

Any good health food store should be able to supply you with the organic variety of this herb!.!.!.!.!.!.!. only organic will suffice as the commercial and tea bag varieties have had so much of the goodness pulverised from they could never possibly be of any therapeutic use!. Also, the spent leaves can generally be reused once more as the essential oils are still so potent in them, so you really do get your money's worth!.

Foods rich in Tryptophan do a brilliant of conquering the blues and levelling out your moods i reckon!.

Tryptophan is an essential amino acid that's used by the brain - along with B6, B3, and magesium (known as the antistress mineral) - to produce serotonin (the natural feel good drug), a neurotransmitter that carries messages between the brain and one of the body's biochemical mechanisms of sleep!.

The EFA's in foods rich in omega 3's such as cold water fishes like tuna, salmon, sardines and whiting are also essential in this process to nourish the neurons that are receiving the messages from the neurotransmitters!. Cold water fishes such as salmon are particularly rich in the EFA's and will do a brilliant job of levelling out your stress and depression levels and smoothing any mood swings you may have!.

Eat more foods rich in all these things!.

The Doctor doesn't tell you that when you go complaining of anxiety and stress and depression now does he !.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!.!. he surely should though!.

Tryptophan will help induce natural sleep; reduce pain sensitivity; act as a nondrug antidepressant; alleviate migraines; aid in reducing anxiety and tension and help relieve some symptoms of alcohol-related body-chemistry disorders and aid in control of alcoholism!.

Best natural food sources of Tryptophan are; cottage cheese, lean meats, fish, turkey, bananas, dried dates, peanuts and all protein rich foods!.

Best natural food sources for magnesium are: leafy and green vegies, nuts and seeds, cold water fishes such as tuna, sardines, whiting and salmon!.

Best natural food sources for vitamin B3 are: the white meat of chicken, whole wheat products, roasted peanuts, fish, eggs, avoacadoes, dates, figs and prunes!.

Best natural food sources for vitamin B6 are: wheat germ, fish, brewer's yeast, cantaloupe, cabbage, blackstgrap molasses, unmilled rice, eggs, oats, peanuts and walnuts!.

Please ensure that when you eat any nuts and seeds that you only eat organic as the commercial varieties are "preserved" with nasty chemicals and sulfites that may upset sensitive bodies and cause a variety of mood and digestive related upsets!.

By taking a good quality multi B complex supplement including all the B's ie: B1, B2, B3, B5, B6 and B12 you will support your body in dealing with the everyday stresses life throws at us!. ie: new job, new home, school studies !.!.!.!.!.!. the B complex of vitamins is essential for healthy digestive, neural and immune systsem functioning!.!.!.!.!. Don't, however, buy any of the B complex of vitamins individually, but rather as a whole complex, unless under instructions from a nutritionally oriented physician or naturopath!.

Bear in mind also that calcium and vitamin D and vitamin B6 are needed to effectively absorb vitamin B12, part of the B complex of vitamins, so eat more foods rich in calcium and try to get at least 10 - 15 minutes of safe sun exposure on a daily basis!.!.!.!.!.!. cold water fishes such as salmon and tuna are rich in both calcium and vitamin D!.!.!.!.!. vitamin B6 & vitamin B12 will be included as part of a Bcomplex of vitamins ?

The whole food source of tryptophan and all other vitamins, minerals amino acids etc!.!.!.!. will always be the most nutritious and easily assimilable form!.

Hope this information helps you a bit!.
