Brief Answer:
Give it a try!
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this depression. I am happy about your willingness to try something natural and get off medications. The same motivation that pushed you to get off drugs and try something natural would for sure help you to feel better and get out of depression.
There is no better way at saying that you are allergic to a drug or product when you have never tried it. The fact that you have allergies makes you more likely to be allergic to some other products but would not mean you are necessarily allergic to them.
I will recommend that you give these products a try and see how well your system responds to them. If you develop any allergies, then we would know that you are allergic and discontinue. If all turns out well, that is good and you would carry on with them.
I hope this helps. I wish you well. Thank you so much for using our services and do feel free to ask for more information and clarifications if need be.

Brief Answer:
These are inferences and not necessarily the case!
Detailed Answer:
These are inferences and do not directly apply to you.
I like things simple and logical. The mere fact that you have been unable to get the same answer from all three doctors is because there are no specific studies that apply to you that the different doctors would simply report to you. We look at the past and try to guess what could happen but that in itself is not the answer.
My suggestion is that you try these products one after another. If you have any funny reactions/allergies, mark it off and never take again. We are not talking of serious anaphylactic reactions that can kill if you try but common allergic manifestations. There is no better way than allowing yourself to be exposed to this. Even in the allergist laboratory, you are applied small quantities of what you are though to be allergic to to see if for real you would develop allergies. That is the similar stuff I am suggesting you do in the comfort of your own home.
I hope this helps you. I am sorry I cannot tell what you should take and not by making inferences. Let me know what your take is on this.
