Thanks all.

I think I will give S.J. Wort a second try then. I had an allergic
reaction to something while I took it first but in all likelihood it
was something else, like a food, but I threw the SJW away in a panic.

I hope ot works for you, I knew someone that swore by it, but personally it
didn't do a lot for me, so just on those two experiences, you've at least a
50% chance of it working! :) Stay aware of adverse reactions though.

Yes, but also be aware that adverse reactions to SJW are much less
common and much less severe than adverse reactions to synthetic
antidepressants - and (in one study) less common and severe than
reactions to placebo.
