Have you ever tried a herbal remedy and if so, which one?
Does (or did) any of them work?

Does melatonin count? I've been using it 3 months or so. Works pretty well.

But maybe a certain tea. Or (or with) cannabis, coca, ayahuasca (the plant), St John's wort.

I used SJW tincture, valerian, mint, lemon balm, salvia, hops, lavander, rosemary, oregano (which is called "good thinking" in Czech...)... many other things.

I use valerian for sleep, it works well for me. I tried Sam-e once for depression. It made me hypomanic for a week and then I sunk right back into horrible depression. Not successful.

I used to use Kava kava a long time ago. It worked pretty well and then it must not have because I stopped it. Now I can't take herbals because there is no way to be sure they won't interact with my MAOI.

I'm now starting with lemon balm tea and passion flower (pills; that's all I could find). So I don't know yet.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
