St John's Wort Posted: 02-21-06 09:57am
Careful with this. U need to monitor ur
blood pressure when taking this. A friend
of mine had a stroke; I tried using it,
and it made my bp go up, too. Hope it
works for u. :d

Yes, St John's wort (Hypericum perforatum)
is the first choice. I don't have any bad
experience regarding blood pressure, but
not take St John's wort during pregnancy
or breastfeeding, or with other medicines
without first consulting your doctor. The
herb can cause sensitivity to sunlight,
try to stay out of the sun as much as
possible while you are taking it.

for me, personally, I use Vitamin D, but
mostly as a substitute after I finished my
course with Effexor. Though I'm not so
depressed anymore, I find that vitamin D
helps with the physical symptoms,
especially in the winter time when I'm not
getting as much sun as I should be
getting. It's worth a shot. Just simple
Vitamin D supplements usually do the
trick. It's amazing how much more bearable
depression is without the physical
symptoms you can get (achy, stuffy, lousy
feeling etc).

You can try two things over-the-counter.
L-Tyrosine - Precursor to dopamine which
is a chemical used in your brains natural
reward system. It can help with stress and
regulate sleep patterns.
5-HTP - Precursor to serotonin which is a
chemical in your brain that helps regulate
your mood and appetite.
