Please read the full article on side effects and interaction with other drugs. Herbs should be treated like drugs and mentioned at DR. appointments-etc. and before starting any new medications.

I say try anything that's safe but if it doesn't work, move on and keep trying until you find something that works.

However, it may be useful only when a person's depression is not too severe. An analysis of several trials on St. John's wort and depression published in the Annals of Internal Medicine in 2002 concluded that the herb seems effective for mild to moderate depression, working as well as the older tricyclic antidepressants such as imipramine. A three-year trial sponsored by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and published in the Journal of the American Medical Association in 2002 found that St. John's wort was not helpful for more serious depression. And results from studies that compare it with newer medications such as SSRIs vary widely. </P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/629A0F78-FA85-4E15-8A57-121AF22CEB69/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
