Depression
"Only been on St. John&#039;s Wort for a couple of days, but so far, I&#039;m optimistic.  I&#039;m a 39 year old female that has battled moderate depression and anxiety on and off for years.  After watching my step mom turn into a pill popping, SSRI dependent maniac, I KNEW that I never wanted to take prescription drugs.  I started off with 5HTP, but it just put me into a &quot;fog&quot; and I felt like the only reason my anxiety decreased was because all I wanted to do was sleep while on it.

Enter St. John&#039;s Wort.  I feel like I am better able to focus at work and get things done, and the constant &quot;stomach churning&quot; that I attribute to anxiety has gone away.  I&#039;ll give another assessment in a few days."
