Anti-depressants versus herbal supplements?!


Question:

Anti-depressants versus herbal supplements?

I was prescribed mirtazapine a few weeks ago for depression. I only took them for ten days. But stopped cos I didn't want to get hooked and I didn't want to become a zombie.

I decided to go my own route and take supplements from a health food shop.

I bought Seretone 5HTP, St John's Wort and Evening Primrose Oil.

I'm feeling much better than I was, and have been taking them for 10 days now.

Anyone else used alternative medicine to beat depression? If so, what? I want to fill myself with as many good things as possible :-)
