A member asked:
Are there any good otc meds to help with mood swings or depression?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Currently there is no miracle over the counter for depression. St. John's wort was previously thought to be effective, but hasn't been consistently proven. Also, dosages in over the counter preparations can be very variable since they're not regulated. If you are vitamin deficient(d, b12), or omega-3 deficient ("good fats"), you may or may not feel better by supplementing.
