St Johns wort?
I've read that it can trigger hypomanic and manic episode and is generally an antidepressant but I'm starting to feel abit desprate. My mood swings have come back full force, changing rapidly 2 or 3 times a day, sometimes more severe than others. I'm seeing my doctor on the 2nd March again but can't before as he's gone on holiday today. There is only 1 other doctor I'd be happy to see (because he's trained in psychiatry, noone else has a clue what to do with me) but I doubt getting an appointment with him would be easy.
So I'm looking into anything to do, especially currently to lift my mood, I've never had full blown mania, just more hypomanic and I'm very productive in that state and only reckless now and again.
Has anyone had any experience with st johns wort? Or can anyone suggest anything that may just help in the short term?
