Lynne and Dwight,
Give Prozac 6 weeks before you give up on it.
I don't really pay too much attention to what works with sleep but I have read good things here about both rememeron (sp?) and zyprexa for sleep. Or maybe take your prozac before you go to bed? Are you both sleepy and can't get to sleep?
Some studies may have used as much as 2,700mg of SJW but that is really high. John L uses 900mg of St. Johns (or did) and I use 1200mg. It is a matter of personal experimentation. I would start out at 900 and see if anything happens after 2 weeks. Sometimes too much SJW can cause a little agitation but that seems to be about it.
Dwight you are adding on meds and supplements so quickly it is impossible to tell what is doing what. You are supposed to add on only one drug at a time so you can tell what helps and what hurts. You might want to stay away from those kitchen sink herbal supplements for mood that have a bit of everything in them. If you want to try SJW, buy a bottle that contains SJW exclusively and in a standardized formula (.3% hypericin, 4% hyperforin)
