St John's Wort - Whats your Story ?!

Hi matey. I suffered with D(Depression) for 13 years. I've been a prescription drug addict(Prozac, seroxat, etc etc,). I've been acocaine addict and an alcoholic because of D. I also dabbled with St John@s Wort. The only one thing that as ever helped me fight and keep D under control is regular exercise. I'm now training to be a Personal Trainer so I can help people like me and you. Please don't hesitate to e-mail me if I can help.

I tried St John's Wort before I sought medical help for my depression. I found it made me have difficulty sleeping very soon, and it made me feel quite strange and restless. I would have put up with these things if I noticed an improvement in my mood, but as I didnt I stopped take it. I know some people find it really helpful in treating milder depresion though. Good luck, hope it works for you.Health Question & Answer

Useless for me. I did have some help from SAM-e. More help from increasing fish oil. I take 4 grams a day of script Omega 3 which seems to help more than the other scripts drugs I've tried.
