I've tried natural remedies in the past. They didn't help me one bit. So I'm afraid I'm on antidepressants

I think your questions are incorrectly laid out. No mention of do you take them at present, are they prescription or natural remedy. I had natural remedy in the distant past, did nothing for me but I have one a day prescription tab.

I resisted anti DPS for years. After dropping temporarily out of uni I took them. I'm older and still take them. I took at Johns wort in the past but not now and it interacts with other medicines such as the pill.

*St Johns wort

Yes, I can understand that mysmugcat and I also know that I can't take St John's Wort because of prescribed meds, so we do need to be very careful about this.

I am taking 40 mg. of citalapram, this was prescribed by my GP, love him but decided to see a psych nurse to discuss other medications, appt is coming up. I was on this years ago for anxiety /panic attacks. It worked well for that, not so much for depression.

I did try a natural remedy first before I went on citalapram this time. I really believe in it but Unfortunately it wasn't enough.

Hope this helps with the survey
