I've heard that fish oil can lessen depression. I wouldn't take St. John's Wart unless you get an ok from your doctor. You don't want the meds conflicting with one another.

Abilify 10 mg
Lamotrigine 200 mg
Bupropion XL 450 mg
Clorazepate 30 mg (for anxiety)
Trazodone 300 mg prn (for sleep)
Xanax .5 mg prn (for anxiety and sleep)

*Please note that I am not a doctor and my advice is purely my opinion.
