I have depression and I'm wondering if taking herbal pills will interfere with my medication treatments?

Well I was on antidepressive pills and taking WU and SP for four month and nothing happened. So people on WU tld me that the pills maybe afecting WU sucess. No I stoped taking the antidepressive to give WU another chance.

Shell did you grow with antidepressive pill and WU? How long did you take to see results? How did you grow?

Thanks for replying. I'll have to check the conditions of the herbs I'm taking.

And Liz. . .just a word of advice. It's extremely unwise to give up antidepressants for WU. If you have depression, you can't be putting boobs on top of mental health in your priorities list. You could have the biggest boobs in the end and still be completely miserable with yourself if you don't deal with depression. My cousin is 21 and has been hospitalized for two weeks so far after she refused to get out of bed for four days straight. She didn't get out to bathe, or eat, or walk, or even use the bathroom. And why? She has severe depression.

At first, I didn't want to take any medication for depression, because I thought it would be an artificial way to make me happy. I figured that if I was going to be happy someday, I wanted it to be because I liked my life and not because some pills are giving me the illusion. But it turns out depression can be caused by chemical imbalances and other uncontrollable things.

First rule my psychologist gave me: Don't stop taking the medication for any reason. ANY. Reason.

hey if you seriously want to go ahead with herbs while on your antidepressants, please discuss it with your doctor first, as it could interfer with them and result in them not working as well as they should for you, or even badly messing your hormones making you feel even worse. Good luck!

I haven't had a chance to review much of the information, but maybe you can take a quick look and see if it could answer your questions.

The other possibility is to call Wonderup and ask them about drug interaction, or if there is a number on the bottle of the manufacturer of the pills give them a call. They should be able to tell you the answer to your question.

I think that herbs do not go against antidepressants. While I was taking both I didnt notice anything wrong. Bur I believe herbs dont let herb do their job so we only wais money and have no results, no growing at all.
I decided take a break on antidepressants because i was on those pills for one year and I think it is time for see what happen. I dont want to take those pills for ever. I have not a biiiigg depression, so I'll try to stop now but if I see i need them i'll restart.
I'm also thinking about trying Hypericum for depression.
