Clinical Depression. Herbal Supplements or Prescription Medication?

in my experience, the prescriptions make me feel nothing, including the negative feelings. The herbal supplements have virtually no effect on me, even over time. Try taking the herbal supplements first for the length of time that would be acceptable for allowing them to work, then if they do not help you in any way, look into medications. Begin with only one at a time, do not jump into taking lots of different pills. With the medication, they will start you on an anti-depressant based on your condition, then if that does not help, they will start you on another medication more specific for your ailments that you describe to your therapist. Do not be afraid to tell your therapist if a medication is not working well for you! If it does work, they may up the dosage if you still feel miserable.
