I know my pdoc had so much trouble finding any AD's or any other psych drugs that would help me that he went to presecribing me the St John's wart & the SAMe.....both at different times......I was on them long enough to know I didn't have any side effects however neither one did anything for my depression. To be honest, it does depend on the person if it works....you may have better luck than I did......but I can't take any meds without horrible problems......psych, antibiotics, asthma meds, even benydryl. I fear taking anything anymore because I never know how my body will react. I ended up in the hospital 5 extra days last summer due to an alergy to one of the new asthma meds I was given......no one knew it was an effect to the med until I realized it.....my throat got swollen & couldn't talk. I later did internet research on the new med & found out that what I experiences was a rare side effect......but that is me....if it is rare, I will experience it.

If you feel safe, experiment with the possibilities & you may just find what works for you.
