Have you ever tried taking St. John's Wort? Depending on how severe your depression is, it may be effective. It has been shown to have lower rates of side effects and is all natural. In Germany, it is prescribed for depression. I'd consult a pdoc like 2nd opinion pdoc for dosage.

Anyway, 2nd opinions are like always in person. This guy is older...so, maybe he has some other ideas.... I hope he can be helpful to you!

I react terribly to psych meds. They made me more depressed. I'm off of all prescription medicine...except I'm taking Mobic as I just broke my arm--eek!
