St. Johns Wort functions in the same way that the SSRI's do in that it inhibits the re-uptake of serotonin. Add the fact that it also inhibits GABA,NE,DA,Glutamate and who knows what else I don't see why you couldn't at least give it a shot.
Make sure you get a high hyperforin extract like perika or Solaray.
Prozac is the tried and true method though so if you have access to it you would be best to use that.
Good luck.
