Comment by Mary Ciulla on September 10, 2012 at 4:45am: I' ve taken antidepressants 3 separate times and was not helped by them. Recently I had a revelation that I may have ADD, and have had it all my life. I made an appointment with my doctor specifically to talk about that, but he brushed me off in under a minute and prescribed ritalin anyway. I took a few, but am bothered by the fact that I don't have a doctor who understands ADD. I expected him to send me to a therapist for a diagnosis. Now I have to change doctors. This is in a medical group, I wonder if I should leave there or ask for another doctor or nurse practicioner. I don't have the energy to pursue this, and I am very unhappy. Soberana Grace, welcome to the group and Blessed Be.

Comment by Paula Davis on September 5, 2012 at 12:25pm: i tried st. johns wort in the past and found that it was not strong enough for me. due to having major depressive disorder i have to take regular meds instead of supplements as they were not enough to help me.

however, all herbs and medications react differently to every person...where one will work for you may not work for someone else.

Comment by Maya Rayne on August 30, 2012 at 2:16pm: Hi Ladandor just letting you know you are not alone. I am bipolar and I was suicidal a few years back. I'm afraid I don't know anything about st johns wort side effects. I do know a vitamin d can help

Comment by Ladandor on August 23, 2012 at 1:52am: Hello, I just joined. I suffer dark deep depression, anxiety, and some mania. Im having a very hard time right now. I havent thought out what I wanted to post so Im just typing what comes to mind. Has anyone ever heard of St Johns Wort making depression worse?
