Hi Fallgirl,
St Johns wort is the bomb!
I used it when I had no other medical options. my depression was so severe, I really needed help, medical help.
you dont notice it at first, you just take it anyway! I took it and started practiceing looking in the mirror and telling myself nice things.
just that would make me laugh. and laughing is good!
But somehow the combo helped. I have been a depressd person all of my life.
I never even knew what it was like not to be.
an now.....It's been years since I've been in that state of mind.
I have read through the years that it can be dangerious if you are on any kind of heart meds though.
I hope this helped...................
