has anyone had success with St. John's Wort for depression?

[riskybiz007]

if i'm not mistaken, St.Johns is a kind of cure-all that hasn't proved itself to be effective. On the other hand, 5-HTP has been shown to increase seratonin levels. Many antidepressants act in the same or similar fashion. Some increase seratonin, others dopamine, etc. But at least 5-htp has some data backing it up.

I took it for a week and it made me more depressed!

Lithium is some heavy duty shit, with some heavy duty side effects to go along w/ it.

BRO kava kava is good stuff. If you are going to try somethig "real" ask your doctor about zanax (spellig is wrong but thats how it sounds) your regular family doctor can give it to you, the side effects are min. and its a take as needed drug,you don't need to take it everyday if you don't want to. I was on it for the same reason I loved it. GOOD LUCK BRO!!!
