> I'm still taking 100mg Lamictal. It works well as a mood stabilizer at that dose, and it brightens my mood, but doesn't improve my energy and motivation. Maybe St. John's Wort isn't all that great for energy or motivation either, but I'll give it a go. I'm starting to think Rhodiola would have been a better choice, but I have some in my cupboard. Maybe if I combine the two?

Apparently it speeds up the elimination of ibuprofen and can cause estrogenic side effects like breast enlargement with agnus catsus. Will have to be on the lookout for that. I haven't checked it with Rhodiola.

the problem with sjw is it speeds up the metabolism of many drugs and lowers their levels in your system.
Don't think sjw will do much.
