Actually anti depressents fall into various classes be they seratonin uptake inhibiters, Mao inhibiters, etc.
If you are on an antidpressent and it is working for you, do not f with it and play with herbal remedies such as st johns wart. Why would you want to?
There are currelty no difinative studies that show that St. Johns wort has any (significant) SSRI effect.Quote:
