We musicians are a weird bunch! As performers, we are particularly susceptible to depression/anxiety problems.

My doctor originally prescribe Paroxetine a year or so ago to help me combat depression, and it made me worse - mainly due to the nasty side-effects.

Recently I started taking St. John's Wort extract (liquid form), having had the courage to ditch the Paroxetine a few months back.

SJW doesn't have the side-effects, and is giving me my life back.

I know of many people with the same tale; so far no-one has come back to me with bad reports about SJW.

Any of you fellow Mudcatters got any stories to share - yourself, someone you know? I've started putting a 'dossier' together on my Website

Either post here, or email me - any comments will be treated with the respect they deserve!
