It shows some efficacy in trials. However, it also interferes with hormonal contraception so be careful.

I tried it, but didn't feel it made any difference. Exercise is my anti depressant now, but also trying to make a plan for things which need to change, your gp might be able to help with finding someone appropriate to talk to?

I am sorry to hear that you are having a bad time. I have been taking St Johns Wort for nearly a year now and it's definitely helped me. I started it because I was having an awful time with the peri menopause, crying all the time and feeling unable to cope. For health reasons unable to take HRT. GP offered anti depressants but thought would try this first. The St Johns Wort has a subtle effect and it took a couple of months before started feeling better, sleeping better, etc. you feel 'normal' on it. Having taken ADs in past I hated the feeling of being emotionally cut off that some people of which I am one get from them. By contrast the SJW feels very natural. I take the high strength tablets from Boots. Worth a try maybe?
