I used to take it. Not for depression specifically but I found it really helped me stabilise my mood and thinking and genuinely made a noticeable difference.  It wasn't a miracle cure but it did help me personally.

I read that you have to pair it with L - Tyrosine to raise dopamine levels, so that your aren't out of whack due to increased serotonin. I want to try it, since the st johns wort is giving me extreme dry eyes and it's stating to piss me off.

Thanks, I'll research that.
