dear doc,
I am taking herbal medicines for my depression Ocassionally to get a good nights sleep, I take a teaspoonful or two of cough syrup. It somehow also clears my mind for a day or two. Is it OK?

There is no medical evidence that herbal medicine (other than St. John's Wort or SAM-E) is effective in depression. Cough medicine would have no effect.
