I am also very medication sensitive. I have to take sub therapeutic doses of everything and many meds I just can't tolerate at all. I do notice effects from fish oil and my latest addition of the b complex and selenium. I don't notice any difference from my multi vitamin, but I take that for the security of knowing I'm covered because I don't always eat right. I have tried St johns wort in the past and did notice a slight effect from it after about 4 weeks. I was not taking the proper dosage though, so that may explain it. Have you ever tried Sam-e. I know they say you have to take a large amount of it for psychiatric effects, but you may feel positive effects from a smaller dose. I have tried that also, but it made me tired. Everyone is different though, and I have read of many success stories with it. Just be sure to take the B complex if you give Sam-e a try.
