St.John's Wort USERS?

Question

I have never taken St.John's Wort and never have talked to someone who has taken it.If you've been using it for a while for depression,would you please share your thoughts and experiences over the subject?How did it work on you?

Answer 1

Many find it helps them with anxiety and depression. The caution would be when mixing it with perscription drugs. It should never be mixed with MAO Inhibitors and the like. Consult your doctor before using St John's Wort if you are currently on any drugs.

But if you are strictly self-medicating using herbs, then St John's should be safe for you to use. Start with a low dose and work your way up to what you find to be the minimum effective dosage.
