    i used john wort and didn't see dramatic changes regarding SAD, only with stress in general. however, it might not have even worked regarding general anxiety/depression as taking john wort and the end of uni for the year coincided.


    the side effects of each of the above medications are awful. they just seem to be making some aspects associated with SAD worse.

    are there any medications that do not cause: upset stomach, having trouble sleeping, diarrhea, dry mouth, feeling unusually sleepy or tired, tremor, indigestion, increase of sweating, feeling agitated, decreased appetite, nervousness, nausea, problem with inhalation, fatigue and yawning ?

    because most of these side effects are the some of the aspects of SAD that i wish to be gone!
