Possibilities: There is some evidence that omega 3 fatty acids and folate (folic acid) may help boost the effects of antidepressants. St. John's wort has antidepressant effects, but may interact adversely with some prescription antidepressants. Discuss this with your prescribing physician who should know about all medications and other substances you are consuming.
