  • Thanks for the information. Honestly! I highly recommend marijuana. You asked for natural and that is as natural as it gets.

  • St. John's Wort is completely ineffective and occasionally dangerous. Depression is a serious matter, and relying on alternative "medicine" is a surefire way to get into serious trouble.

    >From Wiki:

    "St John's wort has been shown to cause multiple drug interactions through induction of the cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP3A4, but also CYP2C9. This results in the increased metabolism of those drugs, resulting in decreased concentration and clinical effect. The principal constituent thought to be responsible is hyperforin.
    St. John's wort also has been shown to cause drug interactions through the induction of the P-glycoprotein (P-gp) efflux transporter. Increased P-gp expression results in decreased absorption and increased clearance of those drugs which leads to lower clinical concentrations and efficacy."

    "St John's wort may also contribute to serotonin syndrome in combination with other drugs which may elevate 5-HT (serotonin) levels in the central nervous system (CNS)"

    Example of what happens when you treat depression with SJW:

  • Try St. John's Wart.
    It's over the counter.

    Don't take Cymbalta or Lexapro..
