Saint John's Wart?

I have depression and I don't like doctors or pills. I just don't beleive in them. I heard of St johns wart which a friend is taking and is very confedent in it. she saw results instantly. I'm just wondering if anyone has any other good/ bad experiences. i'm already seeing a doctor and a therapist but haven't gotten to ask them yet.

is there an way to treat weak eye sight without specs?

Answers:
If results happen instantly it's most likely a placebo effect, as in, it's all in her head. Medicines for deppression even the natural ones like herbs as in St. John's Wort take at least a week to start working.

I've heard a lot of good things about St. John's Worts, from books but have never talked to anyone who actually did take them. you may want to see an Herbalist, if you deppression persists see a psychiatrist or psychologyist.

Results take hold not instantly, yet two weeks later. Regular taking of St John's Wart for the initial two weeks allows the properties of it to get to a therapeutic level in your blood.

I take them and they do work fine, not right away though, as I said.

Is there a correlation between fatigue and certain types of metal?

St. John's Wort, like other depression remedies, does not act instantly. If you friend got instant results, it was not from the St. John's Wort but was just a coincidence. St. John's Wort also doesn't work at all for many (most?) people and can have interactions with other drugs. You really ought to discuss it with your doctor.

Inflamed Tonsils.?

There was a big thing in the news a year ago about how St. John's wart doesn't do anything. I have depression too, and I tried it a few years ago. I didn't notice any results. I haven't tried prescription drugs yet because I can't afford it. I plan on trying Welbutrin.

Should I let this Chinese guy poke me.?

A few years ago, people touted St. John's Wort as the new Prozac. Recently, they have discovered that in fact, SJW does nothing to help ease the symptoms of depression.

What they found was that people who were taking SJW "fooled" themselves into thinking that they were feeling better. It was all psychosomatic.

Taking the steps that you are already taking (therapy, etc) should help you get on your way.

Good Luck to you.

what do you think of kevin truduea?

With any herbal product, it is important to check the manufacturer of the product. These products are not regulated by the FDA, so products are not tested for efficacy or safety like prescription medications. If you get on www.pubmed.com, you can find articles from medical journals that mention SJW, and they will guide you along with your decision. Working in a pharmacy, we sold some of this product, but not much repeat business, which tells me people did not experience the benefit they were expecting.
A better idea would be just a good multiple vitamin and b-complex vitamin, which have been shown to be at lower levels in people experiencing depression.

any remedy or pills over the counter for penis enlargement. both length and width?

first of all, there is a difference between honest to god narcotics, medicine, over the counter junk, and regular plain old herbal medicine. saint johns wart is just an herbal medicine. that's it.

my husband battles with depression, and he was recommended at one point to take all kinds of happy pills, he didn't take them, and about a year ago he started taking saint johns wart because he was honestly having problems making himself leave the house. he started taking the saint johns wart, it was directed by a family friend that he take at least 2 tablets a day, but he sees a difference with just one. it didn't happen overnight, actually it took a week for the full effect of taking it every day, but it does help out with the major stuff.

my brother in law took something called SAM-e. he said it helped him out alot, and you can buy it at just about any pharmacy over the counter. its sort of expensive, and he stoped taking it because he found out it was made the same way speed was made, with some of the same ingredients.

but its the same way with the allergy medicine clairatin, all it really is, is glorified speed, but it sure does help with my sinuses, i take it every day, and i really don't feel any side effects. if i did, i would probably stop taking it.

it isnt going to hurt you to take an herbal medicine for a week.

the only other herbal medicine that was stronger than saint johns wart that treated depression was kava kava, but they have taken it off all shelves, because it has been proven to cause liver damage.

OK. The mind is our spiritual highway. Yes folks, there is a real spiritual world out there. The spiritual lanes run in one direction: strong mind, agape, temperance, self-control and good spiritual habits allow us to stay in safe lanes and in the opposite direction the lanes are marked: oppression, depression, possession, infirmity and addiction. The devil controls those opposing lanes. Drugs can help some forms of depression by adding temporary stimulants to the brain. However, with spiritual remedies, we go after the roots. Some cases are generationally handed-down baggage. Many are unresolved conflicts. Take a few evenings per week to watch this 24-hour positive lifestyle changing channel www.tbn.org.

Boaz.
In essence, instead of relying on St. John's Wort, try St. John's teachings.

How do you get rid of a cough?

Many people have fast results with St John's Wort. However, you may have to wait to see results.

There are other remedies as well. Kava Kava, 5-HTP, Sam-E and more. Since each medication can have side effects, you want to make sure that you do your research.

Depression medications have a high rate of success and there are generics that do not cost all that much.

Also you may want to consider taking a multi-vitamin. I felt lethargic only to discover that I wasn't depressed but was anemic.
