I have been actively taking anti-depressants for almost a year now. I am currently taking Lexapro (20mg). I am fed up with the weight gain!! I am a very short person, and I am pushing 150 pounds. I thought about switching from my Lexapro to St. John’s Wart because I would like to take a more natural approach to my treatment. My doctor said that my weight gain is from taking my Klonopin for my anxiety. (I only take the Klonopin as needed, which isn’t very often. I take the Lexapro once a day). I seriously think it’s from the antidepressants!

Has anyone tried St. John’s Wart for depression? Have you had any luck with it. Is there anything else that you would recommend? Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you.
