Interesting day. How do you know if antidepressants work? I'm trying St. John's Wort to smooth the highs and the lows. Yesterday my L had a pre-trial conference with STBXW's L. They don't like the settlement amount. The fight is over $5k. In some cases here that would be small potatoes. In our case, it's a big deal because all we really have is debt.
Anyway, I thought about it a few times yesterday but didn't obsess, so I guess that's progress.
CTH, I'm using St. John's Wort also. I've been using it for almost four weeks. They say 4-6 weeks is the amount of time it takes to kick in but for some people it takes two weeks. My doctor said to stay on it for 4-6 months to see if it makes any difference. It also depends on what dosage you are taking and what brand you are using. I've gone through a naturopath and that way I know I'm taking what I'm supposed to be taking. I thought I'd try SJW because the side effects are usually none to minimal and it's at least as effective as AD's for mild to moderate depression , anxiety and sleep issues. I hope that helps!
