Rob said: What is it with this stuff?
I looked in Hale's and told them probably safe vs formula but if
they had real depression I recommended an SSRI.
*sigh* I always wonder too, but realise what a lot of people are
thinking is that they don't want to take drugs. People have to really
admit they have a "problem" if they seek a prescription, but don't
feel the same way if they can go to the health food store for the
herbs. I think SSRI's have some real advantages over the herbal
route- it's covered by insurance, and the dosage is better regulated.
As a loooong term depressed person, I'm very fond of SSRI's. I
remember the days of tri-cyclics and wouldn't want to have to return
to them.
I do think herbs are great for some things like increasing milk,
healing salves for minor wounds, and many other things, but depression
isn't something to mess around with.
