Answer 1

For some people it takes several weeks to work: there is a good deal of info on this, and depression treatments, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris on page 2, including a website devoted to it, and when to stop taking it, and why, and alternatives. Also, it may well be ineffective in clinical (severe) depression.

Answer 2

I used to take gingko biloba all the time and a lady in my office used to take St John's Wort and each of us gave the other a capsule of our stuff and BOTH of us were sort of buzzing the rest of the day.

Don't mix gingko biloba and St John's Wort. I think it can cause blood pressure issues.

Not fun.

Answer 3

I took St. John's Wort for a month and had terrible stomach aches. I went back to Paxil.

Answer 4

St. John's Wort works only for very mild depression. For major clinical depression, SJW is probably about as effective as Smarties or M&Ms.

Answer 5

But there is a side effect. You have to stay out of the sun because your skin will get blochy and it takes a little time to work because it has to work into your system.

Answer 6

It is a cheaper alternative. I have used it off and on. I did have a psychiatrist tell me it would not work as well because the dosages vary from pill to pill. I didn't believe him, and used it anyway.

Answer 7

I understand firsthand that it only works for a few weeks at best, and you can get a rash.
