Depression and Herbal Supplements?!
Question: I'm curious as to whether anyone has had any success taking different herbal supplements to treat their depression, either alone or along with a anti-depressant.
Please only answer if you've actually tried them or know of someone who has, I'm well aware of whats supposed to work and what a search engine will turn up, I'm looking for actual opinion, thanks in advance
also just as a side note, I've just switched from Prozac to cymbalta and I'm just wondering if theres any natural herbs that might help that little extra more thanks!

You should not mix herbal supplements for depression with prescription antidepressants Some of them have bad reactions with each other. My girlfriend tried St Johns Wort for a long time but it didn't help.
You have to be very careful about taking herbal supplements for depression while on prescription meds. One could lessen the effect of the other or give you a bad reaction. Proceed with caution - best to consult your doctor..
