...other than Cannabis?
I keep telling myself I don't have depression but I think it's about time that I just accept the fact that I do.
Cannabis is what keeps me stable, I'm completely fine when I'm using it. It's when I'm not using it that things go downhill. This isn't a side effect from smoking, or withdrawal from not smoking. However cannabis is not an option for me right now... no friends in this area and no vehicle to drive because I'm rebuilding it.
What are some other legal herbal anti-depressants that are effective?

Fish Oil
* Type: Nutritional Supplement * How Fish Oil Treats Depression: Rather than stimulating a change in brain chemistry, like pharmaceutical SSRIs and most herbal antidepressants, fish oil addresses the issue of omega-3 fat deficiency, a common problem that many nutritionists believe to be a common cause of depression.
Kanna
* Type: Medicinal Herb * How Kanna Treats Depression: Kanna contains the natural herbal compound Mesembrine, a PDE4 inhibitor. This class of compounds has been used to treat depression, anxiety, and even psychosis.
Sam-e
* Type: Nutritional Supplement * How Sam-e Treats Depression: Sam-e is a powerful coenzyme that has reached a peak in popularity over the last decade. It is known to be nootropic, meaning that it enhances cognitive function, and many well-controlled studies have proven its safety and efficacy in treating depression and other psychiatric illnesses.
St. John's Wort
# Type:Medicinal Herb # How St. John's Wort Treats Depression: Some studies have shown that St. John's wort inhibits the uptake of 5-HT, or serotonin, making it a form of natural SSRI. Hypericin, the active antidepressant compound in the herb, has been shown by dozens of placebo-controlled studies to combat mild to moderate depression with fewer side effects than most pharmaceutical drugs.
there's a couple for ya.

Sperm is an anti-depressant for women.
If you cum inside your lady on a regular basis they will possibly show a positive increase in mood. I guess it gets absorbed into the blood stream through the vaginal walls/membranes. I don't remember if it works if they swallow your baby batter but I know it does vaginally.

Yes actually, I have noticed that instead of moping around the house a lot. I actually want to go out and do things (kinda like I used to). Its a great stress reliever. And my anxiety (although still there) is getting better.

I have been using it for a while now and it does seem to help it just takes using it for 2-4 weeks before you notice any difference

best suggestion
fish oil is safe and good for the heart, i don't know how effective on depression it is.
5-htp works fairly well also.
but there is no better substitute than eating, sleeping, and exercising well.
good luck
