It was a German meta study of I believe 12 studies where placebo was tested against both synthetic ADs and St. Johns Wort (which is what I take). That was 13 years ago. I try to see what I can find.
Interesting that you mention St.Johns Wort, it is something which I used from time to time, and I like that it is natural with minimal side effects. (I've been told that women should be very careful with this as it conflict with some contraceptives).
St. Johns Wort generally changes the outcome of dosage of medications. A lot of stuff should be taken in different doses. Pill contraceptives are reduced in efficacy by St. Johns Wort, and that can mean that the protection is lowered.
Thanks, I'll read that study if you find it.
I think it was this one: https://www.cochranelibrary.com/cdsr/doi/10.1002/14651858.CD000448.pub3/full

Very interesting bit: "Both in placebo‐controlled trials and in comparisons with standard antidepressants, trials from German‐speaking countries reported findings more favourable to hypericum."
That's odd. I wonder what the reason might be.
Trying to ping the user @lemmyreader@lemmy.ml Please tell me if that worked. :)
Thanks for sharing the web links.
Worked :) And let's ping in the original question poster as well @Amicchan@lemmy.ml just in case.
Hypericum (St. John's Wort) pills can be bought in some regular shops here in Europe. I have a tendency to use them in the Winter, but this time it didn't go so well. I also have it as tea, maybe I'll give that a try again when needed. Luckily I found other ways to feel better. Odd thing about the results for German speaking countries.
What do these numbers mean exactly ? Was it a huge difference or not so much ?
Thanks for the study. I'll check it out!
