Has anyone had any luck with St. John's Wort? or any other OTC anti-depressant?

Hello & Welcome, PennyW!
This article on recent studies of St. John's Wort appeared in PsychCentral Professional: St. John's Wort: Wilting in America (Despite the title, it's not all negative.)

Worked pretty well for me. But be careful of photosensitivity as side effect.

No it didn't help me, but then neither have the 13 antidepressants or the 3 mood stabilisers I've tried either. Sewerrats is right though; lots of interactions including with birth control pills and other antidepressants, so be careful!
All the best, *Willow* |

I tried it twice, for a while, and a really "good" / "pure" brand. I tried it with and without 5-HTP which is supposed to be more powerful I guess. Did nothing for me. But neither have the 3 SSRIs I've tried recently. It's different for everyone though so I wouldn't suggest against it. I'd suggest getting a brand that is known to be pure.

drugs.com is a good site to check for side effects, interactions with other drugs you might be taking and good information on St John's Wort.

About five years ago, I tried it. I didn't take anything else with it. I thought that I was going to die. I had a pretty bad reaction to it. I would talk anybody out of it if they asked me about it.
