Yes. Valerian Root and Passion Flower, which are both sedatives. Most studies find the greatest efficacy by combining these two with St. Johns Wort. If you do not take cyclosporine, indinavir, theophylline, or anticonvulsants (which all interact with St. Johns Wort), then combining 360 mg/day of St. Johns Wort, 168 mg/day of Valerian, and 192 mg/day of Passion Flower can produce antidepressant effects. Of course, if you remove the St. Johns Wort from this 'cocktail' then you'll most likely get very drowsy or fall asleep. Herbal combo for depression: benefits mild cases.
