I'm taking St. John's Wort at 2700mg per day, which is about 3 times the recommended dose. At this dose I find it works quite robustly for depression. I don't have any real side effects either which is a major bonus. Perhaps some slight dry mouth but mild. I also take wellbutrin SR 300mg per day, and Adderall XR 5mg x2 per day for more energy and motivation. My side effects are pretty much non-existant.
I can't say this combo will work well for you but it has worked quite well for me. I suffer more from an energic depression (lack of energy, motivation), and a little bit of social anxiety.
