Things are becoming more depressing every day and I can’t afford for professionals and don’t want to jump to the last resort or drugs. Is there a medicine that can make me happy if I take it in proper doses and does not require a doctor’s prescription?
Perika St. John’s Wort (or any kind of standardized StJW formula) isolates the antidepressant part of the herb and makes sure you get the same dose in every pill. It’s nonprescription as an herbal supplement, but it’s one of the few herbal supplements with scientific backing.
Do note that St. John’s Wort can mess with other medications you may take and can make them downright ineffective. A big one that comes to mind is birth control, but there are many others.
Always check with a medical professional and/or look up more information about supplement interactions before adding them into your regimen!
