We've had tons of threads on alternative treatment, but none that have gathered such hostile, defensive ( when not needed ) responses. I also seem to recall reading plenty of studies on whether or not antideppresants had a plecbo effect.
The OP was simply asking if anyone tried these, she didn't attack anyone here, this is supposed to a " support " forum. So maybe we should het back to supporting.

+1 Sorry if my reply came across as hostile...it wasn't intended as such whatsoever. I wholly agree that some people have been overly offensive in their replies. I appreciate the original poster was asking for who had tried those herbal remedies, and I have, as I said in my reply.
I just padded it out with some advice about a healthy diet, which seems to work. And yes, a lot of antidepressants can have a placebo effect. In fact...nearly all medications have a placebo effect on some patients - which is why all drug trials involve placebo testing.
