depression
"Only been on St. John's Wort for a couple of days, but so far, I'm optimistic.  I'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 "fog" 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's Wort.  I feel like I am better able to focus at work and get things done, and the constant "stomach churning" that I attribute to anxiety has gone away.  I'll give another assessment in a few days."
