Answers:
A lot of people say St. John's Wart works well, but also you might try another herbal supplement called 5-htp which is basically tryptophan (from the Griffonia plant) with Vitamin C and B-6. Tryptophan helps your body make seratonin, and other endorphins, which make you feel good (and also help you sleep). Exposure to sunlight is also key to help fight off depression. Go outside and enjoy an activity in bright, but not excessive sunlight. This will also help boost your body's vitamin D content. Exercise helps a lot as well, as does eating right. Congratulations on taking an active step to combat depression. Good luck.

Talk to your doctor about samples so you don't have to stop taking the pills. In fact, you will feel even worse if you stop the pills suddenly.
Call your doctor.
Hey..
I have heard that St John's Wart really works as a natural anti depressant, also there are certain foods that you can eat on a daily basis which really help, some include salmon, walnuts etc. Folic acid is also supposed to be really helpful, as well as fish oils.
-Carbohydrates are linked to serotonin production and lack of carbohydrates may cause changes in mood
-Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, salmon and mackerel are great dinner options no matter what your health concern.
-Some studies have shown that people who suffer from depression also have lower levels of the antioxidant vitamin E, according to Moores.
-Dark green vegetables like spinach and peas are high in folate, which may help stabilize your mood because it's needed to help make serotonin.
-Chicken and turkey are both rich in vitamin B6, which plays a role in serotonin production in the body.
- Also if you visit your local health food shop they may be able to recommend some more.
Hope this helps =)
