does St. johns wort even work?

I've tooken it and hardly felt a diffrence one time, took it for about 7 weeks, and took HIGH doses like 2000mg and only made me get sunbunrned.

Well even if it is antidepressant, (thats still debatably) it defiently doesnt effect much of any reuptake of the neurotransmitters, like only 15% proably. Does anyone know what neurotransmitters it effects anyways? Glad to hear your opinions too.

Tried a form of it called Amoryn, and didn't feel anything after 4 weeks. If anything, it seemed to make me feel more edgy. Hold out for something better, like Cymbalta, Pregabalin and or Emsam.

You may want to take your question to Psycho-Babble Alternative -- there may be people who watch that board that don't check in here that can answer your question.

IMHO, no, not for serious depression.
