As with other antidepressants, St John’s Wort may take two to four weeks to begin to take effect.
St John's wort has significant interactions with a large number of prescribed medicines which are in common use, in addition to those mentioned below. These are listed in the British National Formulary (BNF). People who are taking any other medicine should always seek professional advice from a doctor or a pharmacist before combining it with St John’s Wort.
You should not take St John’s Wort at the same time as SSRI or MAOI antidepressants. (It has been made a prescription-only drug in the Irish Republic because of anxieties about its possible similarity to MAOI antidepressants.)
St John’s Wort may prolong the effects of some sleeping pills and anaesthetics. If you are to receive an anaesthetic you should tell the anaesthetist if you are taking St John’s Wort.
It also reduces blood levels of oral contraceptives , increasing the risk of pregnancy and breakthrough bleeding.
The most commonly reported side effects include gastrointestinal symptoms (such as nausea, vomiting, diarrhoea), allergic reactions, fatigue, dizziness, confusion, and dry mouth in a small percentage of patients. Another rare side effect is photo-sensitisation – increased sensitivity to sunlight. This is associated with high doses, but people taking it should increase their sun protection and avoid strong sunlight.

I would suggest that you think of taking St. John's Wort in homeopathic potency (dilution) form. That may act better and faster without the interaftions with other drugs as rightly pointed out by the other answerer.

ok so before everything this is not the semen that travels to the egg this is the sperm. Semen is what the sperm are in whilst they pop out. The sperm leaves the semen interior a jiffy and travels into the womb. Then it travels via the tubes to the place it expects the egg to be. which could take hours or longer based upon how nicely the sperm swim and how straight away they circulate. maximum sperm are actually not formed suited and that they get misplaced or swim around in circles or in basic terms undeniable die previously they get there. yet because of the fact there are literally 1000's of them this is not oftentimes a difficulty. Sperm can stay as much as 5 days, yet 2-3 days is greater difficulty-loose.

You should feel slightly better the same day and you should feel drastically better within two weeks.

about 1 month but don't take if you are on the pill or take HRT as it stops them from working.
