text: I'm wondering why you put this in 'alternative medicine'.  Good alternatives to the meds are plenty of exercise and St John's Wort is the herbal equivalent to a well-known anti-depressant.  The meds are just blocking the symptoms and not getting to the source.  You will always have side effects and they are also addictive, so you would need to come off them gradually.\n\n\nhttp://www.freewebs.com/spiritualhealing
