I have suffered from periods of stress and depression for the past 20 years. At one time I was treated with prescription drugs which left me feeling as if I had no control of my own behaviour. I was referred to a psychiatrist and prescribed Prozac at one stage also.

I declined to use either.  By choice I maintained a high level of physical fitness and practiced meditation to help my mental state.

I read about St Johns Wort several years ago and after discussing it's properties with a Naturopath I began using it.  This product worked for me calming me down and giving relief from my depression, but not giving me the peace I was seeking.

Recently I was diagnosed with DPTS (Delayed Post Traumatic Stress) which has been associated back to my military service in the 1960's.  The fears, nightmares and reactions became more intense as I confronted my demons and during counselling. 

It was suggested to me that I have a look at two natural remedies new to New Zealand, one of which is a derivative of St Johns Wort.  These products are Amoryn and Seredyn.  After researching the available material and receiv ing an anecdotal report from a person already using these products I began taking them myself following the dosage recommended.

After only two weeks of taking Amoryn I was feeling calmer and more alert, with clearer thinking and fewer panic attacks.  If at any stage during the day I got stressed or 'fight or flight' symptons (this was occuring frequently) I take a Seredyn and within 10-15 minutes a feeling of calm returns.

Without a doubt Amoryn and Seredyn is the most effective product I have taken for this condition.  I have had no side effects and do not hesitate to recommend this natural remedy to others suffering similar disorders.
