Most people feel tired and some get anxious and can't sleep. The other side effects aren't very common. Some of the side effects can be avoided if you take it at night or start with less than the therapeutic dose. Most people think it causes less libido, but I think that it's depression that causes that. Usually the side effects go away before the drug starts working.

    Clinical research shows that the natural ingredient in AMORYN, hyperforin, treats depression more effectively than Prozac® (fluoxetine) without the side effects.

    A clinical trial published last year compared hyperforin (at the dose found in AMORYN) to Prozac® (fluoxetine) in people with major depression. Hyperforin produced a 48% greater improvement than fluoxetine, leading the researchers to conclude that hyperforin is "significantly more effective". This confirmed the results of two earlier studies that found hyperforin to be "as good or better" than fluoxetine with fewer side effects. (See the research review for details.)

    Since AMORYN is a natural supplement, you can order online without a prescription. Unlike most natural products, AMORYN is manufactured according to strict quality-assurance standards, resulting in a success rate of 87-90%. You can also learn more about how AMORYN works or review the clinical research proving the effectiveness of AMORYN's natural ingredients.
