Hi, I dont know whats wrong with me. I have a pretty good life but alot of times I feel hopeless and down. I tried St Johns wort last year in the caplet form because I heard people saying it helps you feel "happier" It didnt really do anything for me, I took it for about 6 months then stopped. I started feeling the hopeless sad feeling again and started taking the liquid drops just a couple days ago. (my sister said the liquid would be absorbed quicker and might have a better effect) The directions say 30 drops 3x a day. One dose is .25 mg Hypericins. I tried 2x a day but Ive been getting headaches. I dont know if this is a result of the SJW but it happens like 10 min after I take it my head feels foggy and then I get a dull headache. I feel kind of irratable also. I dont know what to do. I really wanted to stick w/it this time. Does anyone know if this goes away after you take it for awhile. I dont want to take any perscription drugs so I really want this to work. Any advice I would SO appreciate. I just want to be happy and I dont want the little stupid things in life to bother me.......is that possible?

Hello All!
Depression just happens to be an area where I am very experienced. I have been on medication for many years, and generally speaking do very well. I have used St Johns Wort in the past and wasn,t aware of any real difference in my condition. The reason I started on the "wort, is because I felt I needed a break from my medication. In my situation, this in a BIG NO!NO! But still, every few years I decide to live dangerously and do it. I have just read I think it is Nicci's letter, where she mentions a liquid form, so I have weaned myself off EFEXOR_EX, and will give it a try.
I know that this is likely a temporary measure for me, but physically I haven;t been feeling great, so I will see if I have been effected adversly by the medication or if it is simply the ageing process. I have also improved my diet. Of course this is all happening in secret, as my doctor and loved ones will all disagree with what I am doing.I hate being watched for signs of going under!
I have began painting again, and find my work is so much better and easier when I am not medicated.
Depression is something I have learned to manage and live with.You know, these days, I find it is best just to go with it, do what my instincts tell me. I find this way of coping, is a gift, it takes me to places I wouldent normally go and I have had some incredible experiences. Yes I am reclusive at times, but if I am allowed the luxury of solitude, I feel fine. For me the worst aspect of depression, is its effect on those around me.When I dont have to deal with other people, I am fine, I get through it so much faster!

I don't know anything about seabiotics. But often people who want to promote their companies will give the names of brandnames. It might be good, I don't know. Omega 3 oils are generally beneficial, however. I have read that GAMA is good for calming people down if they are depressed. Of course, expect things to take time. St. John's Wort didn't do anything for me, frankly... I tried some years back..... currently my drug of choice is effexor and it is also a migraine pill too.it has completely turned me around in 30 days. you may want to visit your doctor.
