I agree with med empowered. There isn't really sufficant data to show they are better than placebo. Sometimes the drug companies have to test the drug many many times even to show it is better than the placebo.

One of the largest studies designed to dismiss the antidepressant effects of St. Johns wort failed to show that the comparitor drug zoloft actually performed worse than SJW !


The best that antidepressant could do was to make me numb to my problems. They never made me any happier.

Of course there are different interpretations, and different takes on the available data.
