Well I dont know about that. I know excercise and eating right works. I just can't find the damn energy for it.

I've heard that St Johns Wort is really helpful with mild depression but it has to be a certain type of wort and at a specific dose, and not all varieties available in the stores meet the required dose. Can you speak to a herbalist/naturopath. Lots of stores have these as employees. You cannot take St Johns with conventional anti-depressants, so best to talk to your GP first before you take anything new.

I used passion flower before as a calmative aid and for sleep. Can't say it actually did anything for me but that's not to say that it doesn't work for others

SAM-e is used alot in Europe to treat depression. I have been using it for 2 weeks and it seems to help.

For sleep in my herbal teas ya!!!!!

i have wasted so much money on various things. i exercise and this does help but have an injury at the moment and have been told only to do light exercise. i also lost my dog last week, she had to be put to sleep and i so miss walking her. ive tried st johns wort, 5htp, fish oils, prozac etc but nothing seems to work. The passiflower tablets are 10. for two weeks supply which seems quite expensive so wanted to be sure before i try another thing. Where can you get SAM e?

I got SAM-e at a Vitamin store. But I have seen it in Pharmacy's also in the vitamin section.

Exercise is crucial to overcoming your depression also. Exercise helps the body create the critical chemicals and hormones in your body that prevent and fight off depression. Also reduces Stress and once you start seeing results, helps your self esteem and self confidence.
