In reply to Any natural anti-depressants that really work?, posted by Leonora on May 8, 1999, at 21:48:15
I had posted a message under "Migraine Meds and lifetime-depression" concerning my experiences with 'natural' meds. St. John's Wort made me angry, frustrated, suicidal and aggressive. I've tried Inositol, vit. B6, felt very bad on both of those also. I did try Valerian in small amounts and felt very calm but tired so I stopped. Started to do aerobic exercise for 30 minutes 4 days a week and have noticed an incredible improvement in my state of mind. I take Verapamil for migraines which has helped with my whole state-of-mind. The exercise was introduced after I felt better and was motivated. Be careful taking natural remedies, many are strong and can cause unexpected results. St. John's Wort also caused my heart to race.
