> Are there any success stories here with St. John's Wort? It appears to have potential as a fairly powerful antidepressant. And, if the mechanism of action is what it appears to be, you would think it would work for even severe cases of depression. I am wondering if there is a way to intensify the effect of SJW so that it acts more like a powerful AD, by simply using high doses. I am sure someone has tried this before.Perhaps you could add 5-HTP or even low dosage lithium. Of the gazillion things that lithium does, enhancing serotonin activity is one of them.
