> I have been off my medication for about one month now and am having a hard time coping with anything. My next doctors appt. isn't for 2 weeks (I still haven't seen her since going off the effexor). I have heard some take St. Johns Wart and it helps. Has anyone tried this? Exactly what does it do? Does it really help and are there any side effects? I am kinda chicken to try any other anti-depressants now because I don't want to deal with all the side effects and then withdawls of it. I feel like my own guinne pig! Thanks for any info you can give me.
James here....SJW is a weak MAOI which can have dangerous reactions with AD's DON"T TAKE IT if you are comming of or going to go back on an AD. Try calling the doc and seeing if he will give you a refill to cover the 2 weeks.
