St John's wort worked for about a month for me, until my body built up a tolerance. 3 pills at 300 mg a day.

I had planned to look for something else in the near future

Genetic, have you taken melatonin before? I take that now, but only because it's better than nothing in trying to help me to sleep.

Is the 5htp avail OTC?

Yup - you can get 5HTP at WalMart, Walgreens, etc.

SAMe is supposed to be helpful too.  Anyone try that?

I'll give it a shot, thank you! Life might be easier to attack each day if I woke up a bit more rested.

   I take a centrum multi vitiam twice a day, and an additional 500mg??? of maginisum twice a day also. ALso some ostio-bio-flex for the old joints. LOL LOL LOL The maginisum i had read about helping out with depression. I do feel better, so maybe it does work.

Be careful with St. John's Wort -- I know sometimes it interacts with bipolar meds.
