Here comes that babbler . . . speaking for myself I'd just stop the statin. Which one is it and how much do you take? Have a word with your Doc, but they've been said to cause depression amongst other ghastly things like muscle pain, heart failure, global amnesia, cancer, muscle wasting and death (rare).

It's interesting . In our part of the world (NZ and US) we don't take St John's Wort seriously, but they certainly do in Germany where it's the first line of defence. BTW it's WORT pronounced WURT
