>That said, SSRIs do help a lot of folks and Psycho-Babble may not represent the majority. Generally, people report or talk about their medication regimens when they are not doing well, have a complaint or negative reaction. People doing well probably don't feel a need to talk about their medication. Just my guess. I know that in politics, if a party is pretty much guaranteed to win the vote, the supporters don't talk much about it, whereas the opposition will speak out.
I totally agree with this.
If you do take an SSRI, it might be a better idea to take something like Zoloft or Lexapro.
You may not have had a good response to St. John's Wort for several reasons-you may not have been on the right brand, you may not have given it enough time, and you may not have been on the right dose. I would seriously consider giving SJW one more go at it. One other thing to consider is Rhodiola Rosea.
In the mean time, you should look into taking some supplements that may help you feel better.

GABA-750 to 1500 mg
Magnesium Glycinate-400mg-for the rest of your life
